HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Light winds are expected Monday through the latter half of the week as a broad surface trough and upper disturbance block the trade winds.
Daytime sea breezes will lead to afternoon clouds and pop-up leeward and interior showers, while nighttime land breezes will clear the skies.
The trough and disturbance are forecast to depart to the west late Friday, bringing a return of moderate trade winds for the weekend.
In surf, a brief high surf advisory has been posted until 6 p.m. Sunday for the north and west shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu and Molokai and the north shores of Maui.
Waves are expected to decline by Monday below advisory thresholds, with north shores at 6 to 8 feet and west shores at 4 to 6 feet. Waves on south and west shores will remain small into M
