Swell Summary

Tiny northwest swell energy will continue to linger along north and west facing shores for a few days. In the extended forecast, Typhoon Guchol will become extratropical in the northwest Pacific over the next few days and will send another out of season northwest swell to Hawaii by Friday or Saturday.

Surf along south facing shores will remain small throughout the week with a mix of long period background south and southwest swells. Surf along east facing shores should see a slight increase on Tuesday as trades strengthen then decrease towards the end of the week as the trades weaken.
