Swell Summary

South and southwest swells will keep surf above flat levels along south and west facing shores through the weekend. A series of small, long period south swells coming from New Zealand could begin to fill in late Tuesday and produce above average surf along south facing shores through the second half of next week. Tropical disturbances tracking south of the state from east to west Sunday into next week may also send a small, short to medium period south to southeast swells. Rough choppy east and southeast shore surf for Maui County and the Big Island will hold for the next couple of days due to active ITCZ and a band of breezy trades upstream associated with a weakening trough. Small choppy surf along east facing shores will trend down slightly along east facing shores elsewhere as trade winds ease.
