Swell Summary

The strong trade winds over the region will maintain a large east to west upstream fetch area and continue to produce rough trade wind swell affecting exposed east facing shores through much of this week. The current High Surf Advisory (HSA) for east facing shores remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon.

A small northwest swell (310-320 degrees) will slowly decline through the first half of this week. Another small longer period northwest swell (310-320 degrees) will build into the islands from Thursday night into Friday morning proving a small boost to surf heights along north and west facing shores lasting into the weekend. South shore surf heights will remain small with a slight boost today through Monday.
