Swell Summary

The first swell (330 deg) will continue to build across the islands through the morning hours. Warning level surf will hold for the exposed north and west facing shores of the smaller islands through the day. A short lull between the first and second swell tonight may drop the surf slightly before the second even larger swell (340 deg) fills in Thursday. Next, a mix of north (360-020 deg) and northwest (320 deg) swell energy impacting exposed beaches will likely support advisory- level surf persisting this weekend.

Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the week due to the light winds locally. Surf along south facing shores will remain around the winter average through midweek. A slight bump is possible during the second half.
