Swell Summary

Advisory-level surf will remain in place across north facing shores of most islands this evening and tonight. However, the mix of north and northwest swell energy is expected to continue declining overnight, and surf should fall below advisory levels by dawn.

Another series of overlapping, moderate sized north and northwest swells will move through the islands during the first half of next week, giving a boost to north shore surf (though it is expected to be smaller than this most recent swell). Meanwhile, east shore surf should remain below normal through the middle of next week. South shore surf will also remain at very small levels throughout the next several days.
