Swell Summary
As the current moderate northwest (310-320 degree) swell begins to fade tonight, a slightly larger reinforcing pulse from the northwest (310-330 degree) will fill in tonight and peak late tonight into Saturday. This swell will then begin to fall from late Saturday through early next week and the swell direction will gradually veer toward the north-northwest as it declines.
Surf along east-facing shores will remain elevated into next week due to this persistent fresh to locally strong trade flow over and upstream of the islands. Trades could possibly strengthen further early next week, which could increase the windswell a touch around Tuesday into Wednesday.
Surf along south-facing shores will remain small with mainly some wrap around wind swell for select exposures. A small long-period south- southwest swell is possible next Wednesday.
