Good morning surfers! Let's break down what's happening in the lineup across the islands this Friday and into the weekend.

A moderate medium period north swell is rebuilding today and will peak tomorrow as it shifts out of the north-northeast. This means the north shores are going to be firing through Saturday with waves reaching seven to ten feet. If you've got a board that handles some juice, north facing breaks are definitely your play.

That said, if you're an east shore enthusiast, we've got some disappointment brewing. East facing shores are staying well below average through the weekend, so you'll be scraping by on two to four foot waves. But don't lose hope just yet. Early next week could bring something special as northeasterly trade winds develop, potentially sending a larger pulse of medium period north-northeast swell your way. We're talking rough surf that could approach High Surf Advisory levels. So patience might pay off for the east side crew.

On the south side, a moderate south swell is slowly fading out today, but a small reinforcing south-southwest swell should arrive this weekend and stick around through Monday. Don't expect anything huge though. South facing shores will be on the smaller side for the rest of the week.

Now let's zoom into specifics. Up on Kauai, north facing shores are looking solid at five to seven feet today, jumping to seven to ten feet on Saturday. West and south shores are smaller, but if you're flexible with your spot selection, there's something to ride. Sunrise is early at six forty, and sunset wraps up at six forty-nine.

Over on Oahu, similar conditions are setting up. North shores are five to seven today, building to seven to ten on Saturday. The UV index is running very high, so slather on that sunscreen. Temperatures are hovering around eighty degrees with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers with isolated thunderstorms both days. Sunrise hits at six thirty-five and sunset is six forty-three.

Maui's got a slightly different flavor. North facing shores start at four to six today and climb to six to ten feet on Saturday. Interesting development here is the west facing shores should see some action, starting at two to four feet and building to four to seven feet by Saturday. This is where that small west-northwest swell is making its presence known. It's actually a better setup for the Valley Isle this weekend.

Down on the Big Island windward and southeast side, north facing shores are a four to six foot proposition today and Saturday. Pretty consistent but not explosive. Leeward side is smaller across the board, so if you're hunting waves on the Big Island, the windward side is your best bet.

A few final notes. Expect rip currents in and near the surf zone, and they'll be stronger the bigger the waves get. Swimmers should exercise caution at all times and get in near a lifeguard if possible. Winds are light to moderate across the islands, mostly south to southwest, so unless you're hunting for super clean conditions, you've got some workable wind scenarios.

Bottom line? North shores are the place to be this weekend. If you're on the east side, plan your attack for early next week when that trade wind swell should arrive. And remember, the ocean's always changing, so check the latest conditions before you paddle out.

Stay safe and have fun out there!
