Swell Summary

The current northwest swell (310 degrees) will slowly fade, but additional medium-period north-westerly swells (320-350) are expected over the several days and will keep surf elevated along north and west facing shores. A slightly larger northwest swell during the second half of the week may raise surf to near advisory levels. The current long-period south swell will continue to fade through the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will trend up through next week due to fresh to strong easterly trades over and far upstream of the islands.
