A sizable northwest swell is anticipated to impact the island chain through Friday, potentially resulting in waves up to 45 feet in height. The swell originates from a powerful 966mb storm centered some 1,500 miles north of Hawaii Thursday, set to impact California on Saturday. Rapidly rising surf will reach warning levels along most north and west-facing shores. In addition, a swell of this size will adversely impact coastal areas, especially during high tide later Thursday evening. Link in bio. #hawaii #hawaiistagram #waves #surf
