Swell Summary

The ongoing 2 to 3 foot, medium period south southwest swell has held today and generated waist to near head high surf within higher sets. A series of very similar small, medium period south swells will pass around the islands through the week. These swells will help maintain seasonal south-facing shore surf heights.

Expect east-facing shore chop to decline tonight into Monday morning as trades drop off a touch. Fresh trades will once again introduce elevated choppy conditions to eastern exposures from Monday afternoon through the rest of the week.
