Swell Summary

Surf along north and west-facing shores will increase throughout the day as a fresh north-northwest swell builds down the island chain. This trend is expected to continue, with a peak likely occurring tonight through Tuesday. Advisory levels will likely be reach on Kauai this afternoon, then to the other exposed north and west facing shores of the smaller islands tonight through Tuesday. A slight downward trend is expected during the second half of the week, with surf holding steady near or slightly below seasonal averages by Friday into the weekend. Surf along south- facing shores will remain up today due to an out-of- season south swell, which will gradually subside by Tuesday. Seasonal conditions are expected to return midweek, with smaller southeast and south- southwest swells contributing to surf conditions. Surf along east- facing shores will rise through the week as trade winds strengthen locally and expand upstream across the eastern Pacific.
