Swell Summary
A reinforcing medium period NW to NNW swell has started to fill in this afternoon and should peak tonight into early Saturday, then gradually decline over the weekend. A moderate NW swell is expected to fill in on Monday and will likely peak near advisory levels late Monday. This swell will be followed by a slightly larger NW swell on Wednesday, which should produce advisory level surf for N and W facing shores next week Wednesday.
Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the early next week due to the breezy trade winds. Long range models are showing a significant increase of windswell towards the later half of next week due a large fetch of strong trade winds setting up over and upstream of the state. Surf should easily reach advisory thresholds and it may reach warning levels along east facing shores during its peak towards the end of next week.
Surf along south-facing shores will remain small and near the seasonal average through the middle of next week. Tiny long-period pulses will be possible over the next few days.
