Swell Summary
Surf for south facing shores will remain small today, before a small long period south swell arrives on Friday and peaks over the weekend at, or slightly above, the September average (5 ft).
Surf for east facing shores will likely see an increase from the N-NNE swell today and Friday. The islands to see the greatest increase would be Kauai and Oahu, as these islands are most directly within the fetch area of the low to the north. This swell will fade out by the weekend. Trade wind chop could increase by Sunday as trade winds return.
