Swell Summary

The S swell that peaked just below the advisory threshold on Friday declines over the next few days. A long period S swell brings increasing surf to S and exposed W shores beginning Tuesday and peaking on Wednesday near the High Surf Advisory threshold. Surf along E shores remains choppy due to trades over and upstream of the islands. A small medium period east swell from Tropical Storm Iselle has filled in and will diminish during the next 24 hours.
