Oahu's weather keeps dishing out a mix of clouds and sun as moderate east-southeast winds assert their presence. The current chill billowing from the North Central Pacific is not quite crashing our party directly, but it's setting the scene for on-and-off island showers, particularly over the smaller islands such as Molokai, Lanai, and windward Oahu where it's been mostly cloudy with a side of rain overnight, according to the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
The weekend outlook isn't looking too shabby, apart from some cloud buildups thanks to daytime sea breezes, mostly because of the Big Island's natural blockage, radar data shoWS, scattered showers have been playing coy, winding their way across the islands, so if you're planning a hike, maybe keep that rain gear handy. Looking further ahead, winds should swing back to our more familiar easterly trades late Saturday-through early next week, as a fresh high pressure fronts to the northeast, as reported by National Weather Service.
For the marine inclined, get ready to ride the waves with a moderate north northwest swell rolling in on Saturday, peaking on Sunday just below the High Surf Advisory bar, and then bidding us aloha by early next week. And for East Shore surfers, anticipate a bit of a bump in wave action this weekend as those trades make a strong—but brief—return, as per the National Weather Service.
A temperature cap between 6,000 and 7,500 feet is keeping the atmosphere stable. Right now, there are no advisories, watches, or warnings from the National Weather Service for land or water activities.
