Swell Summary

The arrival of a small, medium period northwest swell (310 degree) late yesterday has resulted in a slight boost in surf along the smaller island north and west-facing shorelines. This waist to near head high surf along many north-facing shores will continue through the morning before the swell begins to slowly fade from this afternoon through Tuesday. A series of smaller northwest to north swells (310-320 degree) are expected to pass through during the second half of the week. Elevated wind wave chop along eastern exposures generated from a large source region of moderate trades upstream of the islands will persist the next few days. Very small early to mid week bumps along southwest and southeast shores from either background energy moving in from the Southern Hemisphere or from trade belt wind swell, respectively, will keep south-facing shore surf slightly under waist high, at best.
