Swell Summary

Surf along exposed south-facing shores will remain small throughout the next few days, due to a combination of background south- southwest and southeast swell energy. An upward trend is expected from Friday as a long run of south- southwest swell will maintain elevated surf as storm activity in the western half of the South Pacific remain well aimed towards Hawaii. Additional reinforcements will likely keep surf elevated through the first week of June. Surf along exposed east-facing shores will remain small and choppy throughout the week as the trades persist. Surf along north-facing shores will remain near the summertime average each day. Guidance depicts a small, long-period swell arriving early next week.
