Swell Summary
Surf along east facing shores will continue to slowly trend lower for the next two days as wind waves ease. Surf along north facing shores will trend higher today, as a small, medium- to long- period north-northwest swell fills in across the islands. This swell will peak today and hold through Wednesday. Guidance for the second half of the week shows a low developing north of the state that could aim a moderate medium period north-northwest swell towards the islands. This swell would arrive late Friday or Saturday.
For south facing shores, the current small long period southwest swell will decline today. The next long period south swell will arrive in the islands late Thursday, peak on Friday, and then slowly decline through the weekend.
