Swell Summary
A small, long-period northwest swell is peaking as it fills in down the island chain this afternoon. North- and west-facing shores are experiencing near- to above-seasonal-average surf that will hold through the evening before gradually subsiding into the weekend.
A series of medium-period south swells will continue to bring small surf to south-facing shores through Thursday. A more significant long-period south swell is expected to begin filling in Thursday night and will likely bring above-advisory-level surf to south-facing shores through the weekend. Elevated surf along south- facing shores will likely continue into the first week of June.
Rough surf along east-facing shores will gradually lower Thursday through the weekend as trade winds ease.
