Swell Summary

East facing shores will continue to see elevated short period rough surf as the strong trade wind generated seas continue to impact the islands. As trade winds gradually ease near and upstream of the state, the rough surf along east and exposed north facing shores will gradually decline.

Surf along north facing shores will remain elevated due to areas exposed to the east wrap, as well as small northerly reinforcements. A small medium period northwest swell is expected to fill in Monday night and hold through Wednesday. For southern shores, small pulses of medium period south- southeast swell and long period southwest swell will move through over the next several days.
