Swell Summary
The current choppy, moderate surf along east facing shores is expected to gradually lower starting tonight due to the winds in the vicinity of the islands weakening, and switching around from the southeast. A larger, medium-period south swell filling in on Tuesday will likely produce a noticeable increase in surf along south facing shores. This swell is expected to peak on Wednesday, and then gradually lower from late Thursday through Friday. Surf along north and west facing shores will remain nearly flat through early Wednesday. A small, medium-period north swell may arrive Wednesday night, which could produce a slight increase in surf along north and west facing shores of the smaller islands from Thursday into Friday.
