Swell Summary

No significant swells are expected the next few days with slowly subsiding trade wind waves; a more calm overall sea state going into the latter half of the week. Nearshore windward buoys are observing a near 5 foot trade wind swell that will maintain above seasonal average rough east shore surf through the day. This short period trade wind swell will decline to around 4 feet Thursday and then further fade throughout the weekend.

A small, medium period northwest (320 degree) swell is due Thursday and will pass by on Friday. A moderate size, lower period northwest (320 degree) swell developing from a pair of lows far northwest of the islands is scheduled to travel through this weekend and peak Sunday. A smaller reinforcing northwest pulse (320 degree) is due Monday and Tuesday. Northeast (30 degree) swell originating from a very large, powerful hurricane force low churning off the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast will begin arriving as a moderate size, medium to long period swell Friday and peak on Saturday. None of these swells are expected to produce advisory level surf.
