HONOLULU (Island News) -- A broad high pressure ridge will remain locked in place north of the Hawaiian Islands into the upcoming weekend.
Trade wind speeds will range from moderate to breezy for most days with slight decreasing wind speed trends from Thursday onward. Fairly stable conditions will produce mostly brief passing showers over windward and mountain areas.
Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Thursday for the windier areas around Maui and the Big Island.
Box jellyfish advisory for Waikiki, Ala Moana, Waimea and Makaha beaches. Signs have been posted.
No significant south swells are expected during the forecast period. However, a series of small south-southwest and southeast swells will keep south facing shores from going flat.
Flat to tiny surf conditions will continue along north and west facing shores through most of the week.
East shore surf will be close to seasonal levels through late this week, as fresh to strong east northeast trades persist over and upstream of the islands.
A fetch of strong northeast winds well off the California coast should bring a small, medium period, northeast swell Saturday into early next week.
