Swell Summary
Several small long-period swells from the south and southeast will produce some small surf along south facing shores throughout the week. A Gale force low east of New Zealand tracked northward with the main fetch aimed at Hawaii during the past 36 hours. This swell should slowly fill in next Sunday and peak on Monday above the summer average.
Seasonally flat to tiny surf is expected through this week for north facing shores. Breezy trade winds will continue to produce rough and choppy surf along east facing shores with a slight decrease expected during the next few days.
