Honolulu. The east shore high surf advisory just got cancelled, and right on cue, a new swell is sliding in tonight.
Northeast trades are running fifteen to thirty miles per hour with gusts touching fifty through mountain passes. That advisory holds until six Saturday morning.
Sunset Beach and the north shore are marginal through Friday. Small, nothing to shout about.
South-facing breaks get a bit of support from a small long-period south swell peaking Saturday. Sandy Beach could see near-average conditions.
Waikiki should be rideable on that south swell support. Longboarders, this is probably your best play Saturday morning.
The better news is next week. The high-pressure ridge driving these trades weakens, and by Tuesday the winds moderate.
