Swell Summary
A small, medium-period north swell will maintain elevated surf levels along north facing shores this morning. A moderate, medium- period northwest swell (320 deg) is slated to arrive this afternoon and build down the island chain through the evening. This swell will increase surf along north and west facing shores, likely reaching the High Surf Advisory threshold as it peaks late tonight into early Saturday morning. Surf will lower slightly as we head into the new week, but remain elevated due to another northerly pulse set to arrive Sunday night. A larger, moderate-period northwest swell (320 deg) is forecast to move through the local waters Tuesday through the middle of next week, peaking well above advisory level, then becoming more northerly (340-350 deg) as it slowly decreases heading into Thursday.
Surf along east facing shores will continue to smooth out as winds become light today. Beginning Sunday, rough and choppy surf will return to east facing beaches as easterly trades return. Along south facing shores, only small background swell energy is expected through the forecast period.
