HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Dry and stable conditions will persist through Wednesday with land and sea breezes producing afternoon clouds and a few showers over interior and leeward areas. Increased moisture from a cold front will lead to better rain chances on Thursday, particularly for northern and windward slopes as northerly winds accompany it. Another cold front will approach and potentially reach the islands late Sunday into early next week.

Expect increasing energy from the NNW to bring a modest swell today. Surf will then rise more significantly from Tuesday night through Friday, necessitating a High Surf Warning for exposed shores during its peak Thursday and Friday. Another XL swell is anticipated next weekend. Small surf remains in the forecast for S and E facing shores.
