Swell Summary
The medium-period S swell of the past several days continues to move through island waters, with a fresh pulse of swell that will continue to support elevated surf today. A slow trend down is expected Tuesday into Wednesday. A small, longer-period SSW swell is expected next weekend.
A small, short-period (~10 seconds) NNW swell will peak today, then diminish Tuesday into Wednesday. Another small, short-period NNW swell may arrive around Thursday. Short-period wind waves will support small to moderate surf along E facing shores for the next couple of days. Small, long-period E swells from increased E Pacific tropical cyclone activity may arrive from Wednesday onward, leading to a subtle increase in surf heights along E facing shores.
