Swell Summary
A moderate, long period south swell that is filling in now should peak near High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria this evening into Tuesday before declining Wednesday. Another swell is expected from a low that formed last week south of New Zealand. This swell is expected to build in on Thursday and hold through the weekend which could peak near HSA criteria.
Short period trade wind swell will keep east facing shores elevated and choppy due to strong trades. Late this evening into Tuesday, a moderate, medium to long period east swell is expected to fill in from the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Gil and may also peak near HSA criteria.
A small, medium period northwest swell originating from former Typhoon Krosa in the western Pacific is bumping the surf up a bit along north facing shores. Another bump is expected Thursday and Friday as a small, medium to long period northwest swell looks to fill in.
