Swell Summary
A small northwest swell arriving Saturday will likely cause a modest increase in surf along north and west facing shores of the smaller islands this weekend. A new moderate, long-period northwest swell arriving Sunday night into Monday is expected to gradually build, and may cause surf to approach the High Surf Advisory criteria along some north and west facing shores of the smaller islands from late Tuesday into Wednesday. A series of long-period south swells will bring surf well above the summertime average along south facing shores starting Monday and continuing for most of next week. Expect the choppy surf along east facing shores to increase to above average heights from Sunday through early next week due to the strengthening trade winds.
