Swell Summary

The moderate size west northwest swell that peaked earlier Monday will gradually fall the next couple of days. Additonal pulses of small size, medium period northwest swell energy are expected to come across from Thursday into early next week. East shore surf will subside into Wednesday as trades take a brief respite today. A fetch of stronger trades will expand east of Hawaii late Wednesday and Thursday. This will double mid week east surf heights by late Thursday. A small pulse of south southwest swell is possible today, but otherwise, mainly background level surf will prevail along southern shores.
