Swell Summary
An easterly wind fetch generated by lowering pressures south and west of the islands will significantly increase easterly wind wave swell through early Wednesday. This east swell will impact most eastern facing shores of all islands. Thus, a High Surf Advisory will remain in effect for all east-facing shores through early Wednesday morning.
A moderate, medium period, north northeast (030-040 degree) swell will veer to a more easterly through Tuesday and decline. The next small, long period, northwest (310 degree) swell will build late Tuesday and hold through Friday, followed by a large north northwest swell (330 degree).
Expect small surf to continue along south facing shores through the forecast period.
