Swell Summary
A moderate size, short period north northeast swell (20-30 degrees) has been filling in this morning but has been a little underwhelming with relation to recent model runs. This swell will continue to steadily rise and peak out today. A longer period, slightly larger size northwest swell (320-330 degrees) will begin to fill in underneath this north northeast swell today and peak later tonight into Sunday. This swell may push surf up to near High Surf Advisory (HSA) thresholds on faces along the smaller island north-facing shores Sunday. The next potentially larger northwest swell is scheduled to arrive Tuesday. This swell will likely lift surf to HSA levels along many north and west-facing exposures late Tuesday into Wednesday. These recently fresh trade winds upstream of the islands are generating choppy, rough seas along east-facing shores. A small south southwest bump in swell will begin arriving along south shores this morning and will produce a minor uptick in south-facing shore surf this weekend. Another small south swell is possible during the second half of next week.
