Swell Summary
A small north-northwest swell is expected to arrive later today, and peak on Monday. Expect a slight increase in surf heights along most north and west facing shores before this swell gradually fades on Tuesday. Another small northwest swell is expected to increase surf heights along most north and west facing shorelines of the smaller islands from Wednesday night through Friday. A series of small, long-period south-southwest and south swells will likely cause surf heights to be slightly above seasonal values from Tuesday into Friday. Surf heights are expected to drop to near seasonal values along south facing shores by next weekend. A fetch of moderate trade winds immediately upstream of the islands will likely keep small background surf along east facing shores through mid-week.
