Swell Summary
Nearshore PacIOOS buoys indicate continued decline in easterly swell. The High Surf Advisory was cancelled earlier today. A small bump in short to medium period NE and N will arrive as Post-Trop Cyclone Fausto advances westward north of the islands providing small surf along N facing shores. Flat to tiny surf then returns by Thursday. Surf along E shores will trend up Thursday night into the weekend due to a combination of building short period trade wind swell and renewed medium to long period E swell, this time emanating from Hurricane Genevieve in the E Pac.
A medium period S swell building today and tonight will push S shore surf toward the summer average (5-6ft) for Thursday. Surf then fades gradually through the weekend while a mix of small S swells maintains surf slightly below the seasonal average.
