Swell Summary
The current large northwest swell will produce elevated surf along most north and west facing shores through early Monday. This swell will gradually lower, and will produce moderate surf along most north and west facing shores from Tuesday into Thursday. A new large, long- period northwest swell may arrive late Thursday night. A small, long period south-southwest swell will produce small surf along south facing shores today, and then will gradually lower from Monday through Tuesday. Surf along east facing shores will likely remain small this week due to the trades being relatively weak near, and upstream of the islands.
