North shores could get 8-foot surf later today

Advertiser Staff

Surf along O'ahu's north-facing shores is expected to be 3 to 5 feet through this morning, then grow to 6 to 8 feet later in the day, according to the National Weather Service.

Surf along west-facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through this morning, and will increase to 2 to 4 feet later this afternoon.

Surf along east-facing shores will be 2 to 3 feet through today.

Surf along south-facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet today.

Another northwest swell is due in later today. The surf produced by this swell may reach the high surf advisory threshold along north-facing shores by tomorrow, then slowly lower on Thursday.

In addition, a late-season south swell is expected to arrive tomorrow. The resulting surf along south-facing shores will likely approach the high surf advisory threshold from late tomorrow into Thursday.
