Swell Summary

A new northwest swell will build in late tonight into Tuesday, then slowly lower through the rest of the week. Surf heights along both west and north facing shores are forecast to peak around the High Surf Advisory threshold on Monday night and Tuesday.

Background surf expected along south facing shores until Monday morning when a small, long period south swell moves in and lingers through the rest of the week. Surf heights along east facing shores will remain small through much of next week due to light winds across the Hawaii Region.
