Swell Summary

The current moderate, medium-period north-northeast (010-030 degrees) swell will hold through the evening hours and boost surf heights along north facing shores, before declining through early next week along with north shore surf heights. A moderate to large medium- to long-period north-northwest (330-350 degree) swell is expected to arrive in the islands on Monday, peaking near High Surf Advisory levels along north and west facing shores from Monday night into Wednesday. Small rough and choppy surf along east facing shores will gradually decline as trade winds ease this weekend. Surf along south facing shores will remain very small through the week.
