Swell Summary
The slow decline of the ongoing moderate size, medium period northwest (310-320 degree) swell will maintain High Surf Advisory (HSA) surf heights along north and west-facing shores (except Big Island) through mid or late morning. The next moderate size, medium period northwest (310 degree) swell will build in Wednesday and potentially increase north and west-facing shore surf back up to HSA levels Thursday and Friday. A slightly larger northwest swell arriving around New Year's Day could also generate a HSA event next Monday. East-facing shore chop will remain small but a short term increase in easterly winds Tuesday will likely add another foot or two onto east faces.
