Swell Summary

A couple of small to moderate size, medium period swells can be expected from around the northern half of the compass this week. An ongoing small, short to medium period north swell is slowly declining and will linger on through the early morning. A slightly larger, longer period north northeast swell originating from a northeast low will begin arriving later today and will peak surf along north-facing shores Tuesday. North surf is not expected to reach High Surf Advisory levels through Thursday. In tandem with this northeast swell, a small medium period northwest swell will pass through Tuesday into Wednesday morning. As both of these swells subside Wednesday, a moderate size, medium to long period northwest swell will reach the islands Thursday and peak north-facing shore surf to possibly double head high heights Friday and Saturday.

A small, medium period south swell will continue to fill in and peak today then lower gradually lower through the middle of the week. Mainly low background south swell energy later this week with a slightly larger bump in south swell expected Friday or Saturday.
