Swell Summary
The current northwest (330 degree) swell will continue to decline overnight. Another northwest (330 degree) swell is expected to arrive late Sunday night, bringing another round of advisory level surf to the smaller islands by Monday afternoon, and then declining Tuesday night. Surf will once again be boosted early Thursday with yet another northwest swell, which could briefly bring surf to advisory levels. Increasing trade winds will bring an increase in choppy trade wind swell to the east facing shores this week.
