Swell Summary
A disorganized short-period east swell driven by strong trades will continue to elevate surf overnight. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect for east facing shores of the smaller islands through tonight.
Surf along south and southeast facing shores of the smaller islands will see an increasing trend tonight through early Monday as a result of Hurricane Hone moving south and southwest of the island chain. However, south shore surf is expected to remain below advisory levels.
Surf along north facing shores is expected to remain tiny over the next several days, aside from some wind swell wrap. Additional short-period east shore swell energy generated from Hurricane Gilma is possible during the second half of this week.
