Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will be small today, then quickly ramp up and become rough later tonight through Wednesday due to a combination very strong trades, large seas and a moderate size long period easterly swell generated from Dora. The largest surf is expected over the eastern end of the state, where surf heights may reach warning levels from late Monday through Tuesday night. A downward trend is expected from Wednesday through Thursday as a more typical trade wind pattern returns and seas lower.

Surf along south facing shores will remain small today with mainly a combo of background south and south-southwest swell energy rolling through. A short to medium period southeast swell is expected to fill in Tuesday through midweek as Dora passes far to the south. This will be a short-lived event with a peak occurring late Tuesday into early Wednesday. A long period south- southwest swell originating from the South Pacific will arrive by Wednesday morning and lead to rising south shore surf height trends to near advisory thresholds lasting into Thursday.
