Aloha, wave riders! Get ready for a gnarly weekend in Hawaii with some serious surf action brewing.
North and west facing shores are still firing with impressive 14-18 foot swells that'll keep adrenaline junkies stoked. The National Weather Service has extended the High Surf Advisory through tonight, so experienced surfers take note - these northwest waves are holding strong with medium to long-period sets coming in hot between 310-330 degrees.
East facing shores aren't holding back either, with consistent 6-8 foot windswell that could potentially amp up early next week if trade winds kick into high gear. Prepare for some rough riding conditions that'll test your skills.
South facing shores remain relatively mellow with small 1-3 foot swells, but keep your eyes peeled for a potential long-period south-southwest swell sneaking in next Wednesday.
Each island's looking at slightly different conditions. Kauai and Oahu are seeing the most dramatic north shore action, while Maui's north facing shores are slightly more subdued but still packing a punch.
Winds are playing their part too - expect northeast breezes around 15-20 mph, gradually shifting east overnight. Temperatures will hover in the upper 60s to low 80s, giving you perfect conditions to catch some epic waves.
Safety first, surf enthusiasts! Rip currents are lurking, so stay alert and surf near lifeguards. Check local beach conditions before paddling out.
Catch you on the waves, Hawaii! Mahalo!
