Swell Summary
Surf along north- and west-facing shores will remain slightly elevated tonight (but still below advisory levels) as a moderate, medium period northwest swell (310 degrees) continues to impact the islands. Surf along north- and west-facing shores will then gradually decrease through the morning into Tuesday and remain small though the rest of the week, with another small northwest bump expected late this week into the weekend.
A short period northeast (40 degrees) swell will fade tonight and be replaced by increasing, short period choppy conditions as fresh trade winds redevelop and expand upstream of the state. This will keep surf along exposed east-facing shores somewhat elevated.
Surf along south-facing shores will remain small to tiny, with no significant swells forecast for at least the next several days.
