Swell Summary
The anticipated large, short period north swell will build down the island chain today into Thursday bringing advisory level surf to north facing shores. The swell is expected lower Thursday night through Saturday.
A series of moderate, long-period south swells will fill in today through Saturday. With no significant trade wind flow over and upwind of the state, most surf along east facing shores will be from north swell wrap through the week. Moderate, choppy east shore surf will likely return over the weekend and hold into early next.
