Swell Summary

The current small, medium period west-northwest swell will slowly fade through Wednesday. A larger long period swell will arrive in the islands on Thursday, elevating surf heights along exposed north and west facing shores through Friday. A third larger, medium period, west- northwest swell arrives from Friday night onward, producing elevated surf along north and west facing shores through next weekend.

Overlapping background south swells will continue to keep small surf heights along south facing shores through Wednesday. A slightly larger, long period southwest swell generated from the Tasman Sea basin will arrive on Thursday, elevating south shore surf through next weekend. Choppy surf along east facing shores will build closer to seasonal averages through the week as trade winds strengthen.
