Swell Summary

Corrected surf heights for Oahu east facing shores today.

No significant swells expected through the week. A small northwest (320 degrees) swell will be on the decline today, but additional small northwest pulses are possible Monday and midweek. With trade winds returning upstream, expect the trade winds swell to produce choppy surf conditions along east facing shores. Small background energy from a variety of southerly directions will maintain small surf along south facing shores.
