A new west-northwest is expected to fill in today peaking on Wednesday and holding through Thursday morning before beginning to fade back out.

Another storm is expected to develop that will generate a swell for the upcoming weekend.

Nothing significant expected out of the South Pacific any time soon. Southwest wind chop is down to leftovers.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
