The current near five foot, medium period northwest swell will continue to slowly fall through Tuesday. The far northwest buoys are sensing a reinforcing moderate size, longer period northwest swell this morning. This swell should be enough to push today's already slightly elevated surf up a notch to near High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels along many better exposed north and west-facing shores through Monday afternoon. The arrival of a significant moderate size, long period northwest swell late Tuesday and Wednesday will likely produce solid mid week advisory level surf with a late week decline to below HSA heights Thursday. A slight boost to south surf is expected from today through Tuesday as a small, long period south swell moves around the islands through Tuesday. East shore surf will remain small through early next week with a slight pick up in chop anticipated later in the week with strengthened trades.
