Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will continue to build down the island chain this morning, peak later today into tonight, then linger through Tuesday before lowering. Surf may trend back up next weekend as a small west-northwest swell arrives. For south facing shores, a modest increase is expected tonight into Tuesday as a small south-southwest swell arrives. Another tiny long-period southwest swell is possible Friday into the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the first half of the week, then trend up through the second half as the trades ramp up locally and upstream of the state. Some easterly groundswell mixed in from distant Tropical Storm Irwin will be possible this weekend, which will support an upward trend for eastern exposures.
