We’re tracking an extra large swell that will likely trigger high surf warnings. Let’s break down the surf forecast for the entire week.
Surf is already on the rise for north and west-facing shores. A long period northwest swell will build in on Tuesday and is expected to push wave heights above high surf advisory criteria Tuesday overnight into Wednesday.
The next swell will be the big one. Extra-large surf is expected on Thursday, with the National Weather Center stating that “surf will likely exceed High Surf Warning levels Thursday into [the] weekend”. Right now, models have the swell energy peaking on Friday.
We haven’t heard anything yet from The Eddie Aikau Foundation.
However, they do have a color-coded system for the Eddie Inviitational, ranging from red, yellow, and green.
Red, means NO Eddie in the next 7 days.
