Swell Summary
A series of south-southwest swells will produce elevated surf along southern shores through much of the week. A mix of south and south- southwest swells will maintain surf near seasonal average though tonight, with long period forerunners of a larger south-southwest swell building on Friday. Even though the bulk of this swell was aimed just east of Hawaii, surf along south facing shores is expected to exceed the High Surf Advisory threshold by Friday night or Saturday. This swell will peak Saturday night, and after a gradual decline Sunday, a potentially larger pulse of overlapping south-southwest swell arrive on Monday. These swells will keep south shore surf near or above the advisory threshold through Thursday.
The current small northwest swell will slowly lower Friday and Saturday and will fade Sunday. A small north swell will likely produce surf near seasonal average for north facing shores late Tuesday or Wednesday into Thursday.
Expect surf to remain around seasonal average into early Friday, then slowly decline through early next week as trade winds ease. A slight increase is possible Tuesday and Wednesday due to a combination of rebuilding trade winds and a wrapping north swell.
