Honolulu. The NNW swell is on its way out, and today's the tail end of it.
The North Shore is feeling it. Sunset and the other north-facing breaks need that NNW angle to light up, and with energy declining, what you're looking at is inconsistent, smaller sets.
Flip it around to the South Shore and the picture changes a bit. Waikiki doesn't care much about a fading NNW swell.
Speaking of wind. East at thirteen kilometres per hour with gusts to around four-point-three metres per second.
One more thing before you wax up. UV index is sitting at eleven-point-four.
Honolulu. Fading swell, moderate easterlies, go South Shore if you're going.
