The current north-northeast swell will continue to gradually subside through Monday. A new long-period west-northwest swell arriving tonight is expected to gradually increase, with surf approaching the High Surf Advisory criteria along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands by Tuesday. This swell is expected to gradually lower from Tuesday night through Wednesday. Another slightly larger west-northwest swell spreading down across the area Thursday and Friday could produce peak surf heights well above the High Surf Advisory thresholds along most north and west facing shores. Other than some lingering short-period north-northeast swell energy wrapping into exposed east facing shores during the next few days, surf is expected to be small along most east facing shores later this week. Only minimal background surf is forecast along south facing shores this week.
