Swell Summary
A small to moderate short-period N swell will gradually build today and peak Wednesday before diminishing. Peak surf heights will remain below High Surf Advisory heights. The strengthening trade winds will drive increasing short-period wind waves toward the islands from the E over the next couple of days. Peak surf heights along E facing shores will likely exceed 10 feet (thus requiring a High Surf Advisory) from Wednesday into Friday. A small, medium-period SSE swell is possible by the weekend.
