Swell Summary
An strong easterly wind fetch generated by lowering pressures south and west of the islands will significantly increase easterly wind wave swell. This swell will reach and exceed advisory heights early Monday and persist through early Wednesday. Thus, a High Surf Advisory is in effect for all east-facing shores from Monday morning through early Wednesday morning.
A moderate, medium period north to northeast swell continues to subside through Monday. A small size, medium period northwest swell will arrive later Tuesday and hang on through Friday. Churned up north- facing shore surf will remain elevated due to this lingering swell in tandem with strong east winds.
