Swell Summary
The current medium period NNW (320-350 degree) swell will gradually decline through Monday. A moderate NW (320 degree) swell is expected to take its place on Monday and will likely peak near advisory levels Monday evening. This swell will be followed by a larger NW (320 degree) swell filling in on Wednesday, which should produce advisory level surf for N and W facing shores. Surf along east- facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the middle of next week due to the breezy trade winds. Long range models are showing a significant increase of windswell towards the latter half of next week due to a large fetch of strong trade winds setting up over and upstream of the state. Surf should easily reach advisory thresholds (10 ft) and it may reach warning levels (15 ft) along east facing shores during its peak.
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.
