Swell Summary
Large and disorganized short and medium period swells associated with Tropical Storm Hone will likely peak this evening then steadily fade late tonight. With the trade winds strengthening over the smaller islands tonight into Sunday, surf along east facing shores of the smaller islands should steadily increase tonight and peak on Sunday at advisory thresholds.
Surf along north facing shores is expected to remain small over the next several days, aside from some wind swell wrap. Surf along south and southeast facing shores of the smaller islands should see an increase Sunday into Monday as Tropical Storm Hone passes south of the island chain. Low confidence in actual surf height values for south and southeast facing exposures due to it depending on the strength of Hone as it passes south.
