Swell Summary

An active south Pacific will continue the extended run of southerly swell almost certainly through mid June. The current south-southwest swell will gradually decline through Thursday, followed by a reinforcing south- southwest swell late Thursday and Friday. Coming into the weekend, a larger swell will move through the islands likely near or at the High Surf Advisory criteria. Followed by a potentially larger swell in development looking increasingly likely to push surf well above the advisory level late next week.

A small northwest swell has continued to fill in overnight and looks to hold today. Another pulse from the northwest will follow Wednesday into Thursday. The fresh to strong trade wind flow is producing rough choppy elevated seas but the wind waves will diminish significantly after Wednesday coinciding with the light winds through the weekend.
