Swell Summary

The current small north swell will continue to gradually decline into Wednesday. A moderate, medium period north-northeast (010-030 degrees) swell will arrive late Wednesday and peak Christmas day and Friday. Surf along north facing shores could approach the High Surf Advisory level during the peak, with the largest swells favoring the eastern end of the island chain. During this time, a small pulse of west swell is expected as well. The north swell will decline over the weekend as a small northwest swell arrives. A large north-northwest swell is possible early next week.

Increased trade winds will generate elevated and rough surf near the High Surf Advisory level through tonight, especially over the western end of the island chain. Short period trade wind swell decline sharply Wednesday, but wrapping northerly swell will affect exposed eastern shores late Wednesday through Friday. Surf along south facing shores will remain very small through the week.
