Swell Summary

Strong to gale force trade winds today will bring large and very rough surf along east facing shores lasting through tonight. A High Surf Warning remains in effect for exposed east facing shores through tonight. Surf heights along east facing shores will decline by Tuesday morning to advisory levels by Tuesday morning, then decline below advisory thresholds, yet remain rough from Tuesday night onward as trade winds ease across the region.

Small to moderate northwest to north swells will pass through the islands into the first half of next week. These smaller swells will keep surf heights on the smaller side. Looking into the extended forecast from the middle to the end of next week, we see a similar swell picture with no larger northwesterly swells for the foreseeable future.

Surf along south facing shores will remain small with some small background south swell energy expected over the next few days. Select southern exposures exposed to the wind swell will likely see some larger waves as well.
