Swell Summary

The slowly fading small, medium period northwest to north swell (340 degree) moving around the islands will generally hold waist to head surf heights through the day. A reinforcing bump in north shore surf is possible later tonight or tomorrow morning as a small short to medium period north swell (350-360 degree) fills into the region. However, the next significant north swell (350 degree) that could produce advisory-level surf along north-facing shores is scheduled to arrive Sunday night or early Monday. This swell will likely peak Monday evening and then slowly decline through the middle of next week.

Nearshore buoys have confirmed that a small, long period south swell (180 degree) reinforcement has arrived early this morning. This will maintain near waist high south-facing shore surf the next couple of days. Surf along west-facing shores will remain elevated as these shores will continue to be influenced by both north and south swell wrap. East-facing shore wind wave chop will remain relatively small under this weaker trade wind regime.
