Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will continue to remain elevated as overlapping south swells continue to impact the islands. A slightly bigger swell will build in Tuesday as another moderate, long period south swell is expected to arrive late Tuesday, fill in Wednesday, and remain elevated through Friday. Surf may approach advisory levels at the peak of the swell.

Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain moderate and rough due to moderate to locally strong trade winds. Later in the week, the track of a developing tropical cyclone will dictate the potential for a swell from the southeast to east. Aside from wrapping trade wind energy, surf along north-facing shores will remain flat to tiny through the week.
