Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will steadily rise through the late afternoon hours, then peak this evening through early Tuesday as a fresh northwest (310-320 degrees) swell builds down the island chain. Surf will gradually lower Tuesday through midweek as the swell eases. An upward trend is expected late Thursday through Saturday as a couple of northwest (320-330 degrees) swells arrive and peak Friday night into Saturday. Surf along exposed north and west facing shores could reach the advisory levels through the peak. A downward trend is then expected Sunday through early next week. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough through the week due to strong easterly trades. Surf along south facing shores will remain small, with mainly background south and southeast swells.
