Swell Summary
A long-lived south swell will affect the islands into the weekend. Surf along south facing shores is expected to remain at the High Surf Advisory threshold of 10 feet through this afternoon, then gradually decline Saturday through Tuesday. A series of overlapping long- period south swells will give another sizable boost to south shore surf Wednesday through late next week. This event represents the most sustained south swell of the year.
North shore surf will remain tiny through this morning. A small reinforcing short-period north-northwest swell will build in this afternoon and continue through the weekend. A small long- period northwest swell will build Sunday night, giving north shore surf a boost early next week. Surf along east facing shores will be well below normal levels through the middle of next week.
