Swell Summary
Large, trade wind generated seas will dominate for the next several days, and a High Surf Advisory will remain in effect for east facing shores of most islands through at least Friday. As trade winds ease this weekend, the rough east shore surf will gradually decline, and the trade wind swell will fall to around April average Monday or Tuesday. A moderate, medium-period north-northeast swell mixed in with the trade wind swell is on track to peak early this morning and slowly decline late morning and afternoon. For southern shores, small pulses of medium- period south- southeast swell and long- period southwest swell may arrive this weekend.
