Swell Summary
A series of small northwest to north-northwest swells will produce surf below April average on northern shores through most of the week. A small northwest swell will peak overnight and early Friday, then slowly decline through the weekend. A slightly larger northwest swell is expected to build on Monday and decline Tuesday and Wednesday.
Strong trade winds near the state will produce elevated rough surf along east facing shores through Friday, with the largest waves affecting Kauai and Oahu. Surf along eastern shores will fall to near April average statewide on Saturday and decline below average Sunday through early next week.
South shore surf will be near April average into Friday, then decline back to summertime background levels during the weekend.
