Swell Summary

A small long-period northwest swell will peak early Sunday, then fade through early next week. Surf along north and west facing shores should remain near or below average, well shy of High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria. By Thursday, a medium long-period north northwest swell is expected, which may bring surf near HSA levels.

Multiple small early season south swells will maintain small background southerly energy through mid next week. A bump up in south swell energy is expected to arrive late Thursday and last through next weekend. Weak upstream trade wind flow will keep surf along east facing shores near or below seasonal averages for the next several days.
