Swell Summary

The current long-period northwest (310 degrees) swell and short-period northeast wind waves around Kauai have declined enough this morning to drop the remaining High Surf Advisory (HSA) as well. A small pulse of northwest swell is due Wednesday and Thursday, followed by a moderate north-northwest swell (350 degrees) this weekend. An out of season south swell will provide surf around summertime average today into Thursday.
