A couple of small to moderate, medium-period swells with a northerly component will move through the islands this week. A new north-northeast swell has been filling in this morning. Surf with this swell will rise along north facing shores, peaking today, but is expected to remain below advisory levels. Concurrently, a small northwest swell will move through into mid-week. These two swells will subside through Thursday. A larger north swell is forecast to arrive late Thursday into Friday, boosting north shore surf to near advisory levels Friday and Saturday. Elsewhere, a small, medium period south swell will lower gradually through the middle of the week to background levels. A slightly larger bump in south swell is expected Friday or Saturday. Lastly, weaker trades over and upwind of the state will keep east shore surf on the small side. Any slight increase in west or east shore surf would come from north-swell wrap.
