Swell Summary
Tiny, medium period northwest (320-330) swell will be quickly followed by a similar north (360-010) swell building through Tuesday and peaking Tuesday night. Moderate, shorter period northwest (300-310) swell emanating from a developing low northwest of the islands will also build Tuesday, eventually peaking Wednesday night into Thursday. Models show another medium sized and borderline long period northwest (310-320) swell affecting the islands, resulting in moderate surf next weekend. Small surf over south-facing shores will gradually decline today. A tiny, long period south (190) swell is slated to arrive Friday, bringing elevated surf to south-facing shores next weekend. Surf along east facing shores will change little through the weekend, then gradually decline through the upcoming work week.
