Honolulu's weather forecast from the National Weather Service (NWS) indicates fairly steady conditions over the next few days, with just a hint of showers to break up the dryness. According to a recent statement by the NWS, conditions across the state will be "rather dry and stable," with the eastern islands experiencing light to moderate trade winds, while the western islands can expect a mix of land and sea breezes.

The surface ridge near Kauai is slated to hold through Wednesday, which is good news for those who prefer the calmer side of the Hawaiian climate. However, at the end of the week, "Southerly winds will strengthen as a front approaches on Thursday, with showers increasing over the western islands Thursday night and Friday," as detailed by NWS.

For those looking skyward for flying conditions, it's clear skies ahead with VFR, or Visual Flight Rules, expected to reign supreme as stated by the NWS, "VFR conditions are expected to prevail." No AIRMETS, which are weather advisories for aircraft, are currently in place, and pilots can look forward to untroubled flights at least into the coming Wednesday.

Surfers should be thrilled with the forecast as the NWS anticipates a healthy dose of waves. "A moderate, long period WNW (300-310 degree) swell continues to slowly decline this morning," but another swell is on its horizon, just under 12 hours late. Expect it to start rolling in around daybreak with surf heights topping the HSA thresholds by afternoon and peaking tonight. Although the Big Island's west-facing shores were left out of the High Surf Advisory (HSA) due to the delayed swell, thrill-seekers and cautionaries alike should stay tuned as conditions might change as the week progresses.

Hence, those in areas affected by the high surf advisory, including Niihau, Kauai Leeward, and others, should prepare for elevated surf conditions. For exact details and additional information on the weather and advisories, visit the NWS website for the full report.
