Swell Summary
Small north-northeast and west-northwest swells will continue to gradually lower this weekend. Another west-northwest (330-340 degrees) swell will arrive on Sunday and shift out of the northwest during its peak on Monday, producing surf near the High Surf Advisory level along north facing shores. A larger pulse of overlapping long period north-northwest swell will build Monday night and will likely push surf above the advisory level Tuesday. This swell will gradually decline through the remainder of the week, followed by a small to moderate northwest swell on Friday.
Small surf will prevail along east facing shores through Monday due to a mix of declining north-northeast swell and small wind wave energy generated by trade winds east of the islands. A slight increase in choppy east shore surf is expected by Tuesday as trade winds rebuild. Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny to small through the week.
