As we head into Thursday and Friday, expect breezy to locally strong trade winds. That means a cooler feel, especially in the usual windy spots, along with rougher ocean conditions and increasing surf along east-facing shores. <\/p>\n<p>South shore surf remains elevated thanks to a series of long-period swells. Another larger swell is arriving now and is expected to peak late Thursday into Friday, bringing advisory-level surf with some locations potentially approaching warning levels. If you\u2019re heading to the beach, use extra caution as stronger currents and larger waves arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to early next week, we\u2019re continuing to keep a close eye on Hurricane Fausto. Hurricane Fausto continues to battle dry air. The National Hurricane Center says the storm still has sustained winds of 80 mph (70 knots), but dry air has been disrupting the hurricane\u2019s core and giving it a ragged appearance. Fausto could strengthen a little over the next day or two, but only modestly. After that, cooler ocean waters and increasing wind shear should begin a steady weakening trend, with the system expected to drop below hurricane strength by the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=2947\">Belatti responds after Gov.

The latest National Hurricane Center track keeps Fausto moving west to west-northwest while strengthening high pressure to the north steers it toward the Central Pacific. There is still noticeable uncertainty in exactly where the storm will track by early to mid next week, and even small shifts north or south could make a difference in our weather, winds, surf, and marine conditions. At this point, it\u2019s too early to determine specific impacts, but confidence is increasing that Fausto will be in a weakening phase as it nears the Central Pacific. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll continue tracking every update and let you know if the forecast changes.
