Morrison said that swell should peak by Sunday night and Monday, and continue through Monday night, gradually decreasing through Tuesday and Tuesday night. A lesser swell will come in on Wednesday night and remain into Thursday.
On O�ahu�s west-facing shore, waves should reach the 12-foot level through Sunday morning, with waves climbing to the 18-foot advisory level by afternoon.
