Swell Summary




A moderate to large sized long-period northwest swell will build through the morning, then peak at advisory levels along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands tonight through Friday. Surf along east facing shores will steadily climb through the week due to a combination of the southeasterly winds locally and the upstream trade wind belt. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend, with only background southerly swells.
