Swell Summary

Surf along exposed south-facing shores will remain small small due to a combination of background south- southwest and southeast swell energy. An upward trend is expected late Friday as a long run of south- southwest swell will maintain elevated surf as storm activity in the western half of the South Pacific remains well aimed towards Hawaii. Additional reinforcements will likely keep surf elevated through the first week of June.

Surf along exposed east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy throughout the week as the strong trades persist.
