Swell Summary
Recent satellite derived winds depict an abundance of fresh to strong easterly trade winds occurring over and upstream of the chain this morning. These winds, along with a lingering small, low period north swell wrap, will maintain elevated, near-advisory level surf along many full eastern exposures throughout the day. A surface low over the west waters will disrupt island trade flow from today through Friday and lower east-facing shoreline surf the next couple of days. North swells will continue to fade through Thursday afternoon with only small north and west-facing shore surf through Friday. Larger, longer period northeast swells arriving this weekend will likely boost surf heights along north and east-facing shorelines back up to high surf advisory levels. Very small, background southwest to south swells will keep surf small along most southern-facing shores.
NORTH EAST
am 
pm
Surf: Head high E wind swell.
Conditions: Bumpy/choppy with E winds 10-15mph in the morning increasing to 20-25mph in the afternoon.
NORTH WEST
am 
pm 
Surf: Minimal (ankle high or less) surf.
Conditions: Glassy in the early morning with S winds less than 5mph. Sideshore/choppy conditions move in during the morning hours with the winds shifting SSW 15-20mph.
WEST
am pm 
Surf: Minimal (ankle high or less) surf.
Conditions: Sideshore texture/chop in the morning with SSE winds 5-10mph. Semi glassy/semi bumpy conditions for the afternoon with the winds shifting S less than 5mph.
SOUTH EAST
am 
pm
Surf: Waist to chest high ENE wind swell for the morning with occasional shoulder sets. This rotates more E and builds in the afternoon with sets up to head high.
Conditions: Clean in the morning with NW winds 5-10mph. Bumpy/semi bumpy conditions for the afternoon with the winds shifting SSE 10-15mph.
