Swell Summary

A multi-day buildup of surf for south facing shores is expected this week as a series of long period swells fill in. The first swell is forecast to arrive later today into tonight and peak near the summertime average tomorrow (5-6 ft). While that swell holds tomorrow, forerunners from the next much larger well will start to fill in and peak late Thursday at well over advisory levels (8 to 12 ft) and hold through Friday. The swell will gradually decline over the weekend and will be followed by another long period south swell early next week.

East shore surf will trend up over the next few days as strengthening trade winds generate larger wind waves. Surf along east facing shores will rise to seasonal average late Wednesday or Thursday and hold into the weekend, followed by a possible decline early next week.

Flat summer conditions along north facing shores may be interrupted this weekend by a small long period northwest swell from Typhoon Krosa, currently in the western Pacific.
