Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will see increasing surf heights today as a new medium period west-northwest (300-310 degree) swell fills in. This swell should peak across the state today, then begin to gradually decline from Tuesday onward.
Small and choppy surf along east facing shores will ease slightly over the next couple of days due to weaker trades. An upward trend will develop from Wednesday onward.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small each day through the week. A powerful gale to storm force low currently evolving far south of Tahiti will be enough to generate a long period south (170-180 degree) swell for the weekend of June 24th and 25th.
