Swell Summary

A small short- to medium-period north-northeast swell will fade overnight as the current small northwest swell increases slightly. Long-period forerunners of a new northwest (320 deg) swell will build on Sunday, and surf should peak Monday and Tuesday at High Surf Advisory levels for most north and west shores from Kauai to Maui. Surf will gradually decline Thursday and Friday.

Small inconsistent southwest swell will decline by Monday, with tiny background swell prevailing through the rest of the week.

Along east facing shores, the small north-northeast swell will fade overnight, but a slight increase to near seasonal normal is expected tonight into Monday as medium-period easterly swell from a distant tropical cyclone moves across the area. East shore surf will be small Tuesday, then increase and become rough during the second part of the week as trade winds build.
