Swell Summary
The current small medium period north-northwest swell will hold today, then lower Sunday into early next week. A shorter period north swell will move through this weekend as well. A moderate size longer period north-northeast swell should arrive Sunday night, and give a solid boost to north shore surf Monday and Tuesday, then slowly decline through late next week. This swell is expected to remain below advisory thresholds. Another small medium period northwest swell appears to move through the islands Monday through the middle of next week, with a moderate potentially near advisory level north swell following by the end of the work week.
Surf will remain small along south facing shores today with mainly background energy from the south and southeast. Another small, long-period south swell is expected to fill in Sunday into Monday giving south shore surf a boost, followed by a slow and gradual decline through late next week.
East facing shores will remain small and well below normal during the next 7 days due to a lack of strong trade winds over and upstream of the islands.
