Swell Summary
The current medium period NNW (330 degree) swell will continue declining through Monday before the next moderate NW (320 degree) swell builds into Hawaiian waters by early Monday morning and peak near advisory levels by Monday evening. This swell will be followed by a slightly larger NW (320 degree) swell filling in from late Tuesday into Wednesday, which should produce advisory level surf along N and W facing shores.
Surf along E facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the week due to the breezy trade winds. Surf heights are expected to build after Tuesday and exceed advisory thresholds along E facing shores during its peak.
Surf along S facing shores will remain small and near the seasonal average through the middle of this week. Mainly background S swell pulses linger in the long range forecast.
