A new northwestern swell has caused a warning for the surfers for the north and west sides of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu and Molokai and north coast of Maui, with a second swell right on its heels, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters said they would expect as high as 25 to 35 feet on the north bank and 22 to 26 feet on the west bank today. Waves on the south and east shores will only range from 1 to 4 feet, the service said.
As the swell moves down the island chain, a surf tip can be issued for the western shores of the island of Hawaii.
A smaller northwesterly swell will still bring large waves along the exposed north and west sides, according to the Weather Service Sunday. The waves will subside on Monday as the two swells pass, but another one could reach the islands and deliver advisory-level waves during the middle of next week.
Officials warn of seawater sometimes sailing over sections of beaches, significant beach breaks and dangerous currents.
A retail product advice remains applicable today to all Hawaii waters until 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, moods will increase across the island of Hawaii and eastern Maui today and spread across the rest of the island chain by Sunday afternoon, forecasters said. The humidity will remain in the state on Monday, with a decrease in moods likely on Tuesday.
