Swell Summary
Surf will peak along south facing shores today and tomorrow, with surf heights near advisory levels. Long period south swell energy will also bump up surf heights along most west facing shores due to wrap around effects. The current south swell will begin to decline by Monday afternoon and then gradually lower through the middle of next week. A new northwest swell is forecast to move into the Hawaii region on Monday, producing a slight boost to north shore surf heights. Elsewhere small surf will continue.
