Swell Summary

The current moderate long-period northwest swell has continued to rise through the night and is expected to peak early this morning before slowly declining through the week. A large long period northwest swell is expected to build Friday into Saturday from a closer, stronger storm that tracks generally towards the islands over the next few days. A High Surf Warning is likely as satellite altimeter passes over the storm is already showing 40 foot seas. Through the first half of next week, a medium period northwest swell will likely fill in Monday keeping surf heights elevated over the forecast period.

Surf along south facing shores will remain very small through Wednesday. A moderate long period south swell is expected to start filling in Thursday, peak on Friday and slowly ease over the weekend. PacIOOS buoy observations located in Aunu'u, American Samoa is running above guidance suggesting surf may peak just below High Surf Advisory levels. Surf along east facing shores will hold relatively steady tonight then continue to decline through the end of the week. A small north swell could potentially elevate exposed shorelines Wednesday and Thursday.
