Several overlapping north to northwest swells will keep surf heights from dropping out along north facing shores over the next seven days. The current north-northwest medium period swell energy will hold into Saturday. The next north-northwest swell will arrive by Saturday night, and a third north-northwest swell will arrive late Monday and linger into the middle of next week.
A series of swells originating in the Southern Hemisphere will keep surf heights boosted along south facing shores into early next week. The wave model guidance shows the next south swell arriving today and linger into Monday. Another smaller medium period southwest swell arrives by Saturday night and also lingers into Monday. Surf will likely remain small along east facing shores into early next week due to the lack of a significant fetch of trade winds upstream of the islands.
