The current large northwest swell will be reinforced by a new northwest swell later today, keeping advisory level surf in place across most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands through early Tuesday morning. This swell will will gradually decline Tuesday and Tuesday night, followed by a couple new reinforcing northwest swells Wednesday and Thursday, although surf heights should remain below advisory levels. A new large northwest swell could bring another round of advisory level surf to north and west facing shores on Friday, with a dip below advisory levels forecast for Saturday, followed by a potential warning level event on Sunday.
A small medium period south swell will continue to slowly decline today through Tuesday, with only background south swell energy expected Wednesday through Saturday. A new small long-period south swell could give south shore surf a minor boost on Sunday. East shore surf will remain small and well below normal through the upcoming weekend due to the lack of trade winds over and upstream of the islands.
