Swell Summary
Small southeast swell energy will maintain small surf along exposed south facing shores this weekend. Modest, choppy surf will persist along east facing shores through Monday. An upward trend in surf is expected along east facing shores starting Tuesday due to the arrival of a medium-period easterly swell, which is being generated by Tropical Cyclone Calvin. Surf will likely reach the High Surf Advisory criteria along east facing of most islands starting Tuesday night or Wednesday. There is also a possibility that some shorelines of the eastern islands may be near the High Surf Warning threshold during the passage of Calvin.
