Oahu and nearby Hawaiian islands will see stronger trade winds this weekend, bringing more breezy conditions. Expect more wind-driven showers, mainly in the windward areas.

As the high-pressure systems take firmer control, the trade winds are set to not only intensify but also maintain their blow well into next week. "Atmospheric stability will remain high, so any showers arriving on the trades will be brief, and favor windward areas during nights and mornings," the National Weather Service Honolulu forecast discussion outlined. Meanwhile, windward flyers can expect to encounter periods of moderate visibility and showers, but general air travel should remain largely unaffected, with no AIRMETs currently in place.

For those setting sail or cruising the coastal waters, an advisory has been issued. "A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) for the typically windy waters around Maui County and the Big Island has been issued through the weekend," confirms the National Weather Service Honolulu. The SCA indicates that mariners should exercise caution as stronger winds persist, particularly around these traditionally breezier locales.

Surfers heading to the northern shores should catch the waves while they last, as the small swell is expected to fade through the day. East-facing shores will see more action as trade winds pick up, creating better conditions for surfers there. For the south shores, a mild swell from the southwest is expected to improve the surf over the weekend.

The calm before the winds has left islanders with no current watches, warnings, or advisories beyond the aforementioned SCA. For regular updates, keep an eye on the National Weather Service Honolulu forecasts and advisories.
