Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will remain large and rough through the middle of next week due to persistent strong trade winds over and upstream of the islands. A High Surf Advisory is now in effect for east facing shores through 6 AM Saturday. East shore surf could briefly lower below advisory thresholds this weekend, then ramp back up to advisory levels Monday through Wednesday.

A series of small northwest swells (310-320 degrees) will move through the islands today through Monday, keeping some small surf in place along north and west facing shores. Northwest swell energy appears to fade entirely by the middle of next week. South shore surf will remain small through the middle of next week, with nothing more than background south swell energy moving through.
