Swell Summary

A medium-period south swell will gradually decline through Monday. By Tuesday, however, a new south swell will arrive, once again providing a boost to surf along south facing shores through mid week before gradually subsiding into the weekend.

A moderate, short to medium-period northwest swell generated by the gale force low to the northwest filled in early this morning and is providing small to moderate surf to north and west facing shores this afternoon. Another northwest reinforcement will arrive on Sunday and maintain small to moderate surf through the weekend, followed by a decline in northwest swell energy next week.

Surf along east facing shores remains below seasonal average with lighter than average trade winds near and upstream of the islands forecast through next week.
