HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Dry and stable conditions are expected through the first half of the week.

A land and sea breeze regime will become established beginning Monday as the trades diminish, causing afternoon clouds and a few showers over interior and leeward areas.

Increased moisture from a cold front potentially moving into the area will lead to better rain chances through the second half of the week, particularly for northern and windward slopes as northerly winds accompany it.

The first of several large long period northwest swells will build through the day on Tuesday and will produce surf well above High Surf Advisory levels by Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Surf will likely exceed High Surf Warning levels Thursday into next weekend. Small surf remains in the forecast for south and east facing shores.
