Swell Summary
The current small northwest swell will continue to decline through Thursday. A series of small west-northwest to northwest swells will maintain below average surf through at least the first half of next week. The median H1/10 for the month of March is 12 feet (Goddard-Caldwell Database). The first small west-northwest swell will arrive Thursday night and peak Friday night, followed by another small northwest bump Saturday night into Sunday. This should maintain some small surf along north and west facing through early next week. A compact storm-force low currently just off the coast of Japan could produce another small west-northwest swell around Tuesday of next week.
Choppy east shore surf did increase to seasonal averages today due to the strengthening east to east-southeast winds. Little change is expected along east facing shores over the next few days followed by a slight increase over the weekend. Surf along east facing shores should decline early next week as winds veer towards the southerly direction. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend, and some islands may see an increase in choppy surf if strong southerly winds develop early next week. A small long- period south swell is also possible around Tuesday of next week.
