Swell Summary

Nearshore buoys on the eastern side of the islands have shown a considerable uptick with the medium and long period energy from Fausto. The surf is expected to continue building through the evening and then peak tomorrow before dropping off Wednesday afternoon. A High Surf Warning for east facing shores is currently in effect through Wednesday afternoon. East shore surf will then trend back up Friday into the weekend due to a combination of rising trade wind swell and a new long period east swell generated by Hurricane Genevieve.

A series of south swells will keep south shore surf near the summertime average (5-6ft) through the week.

Surf along N shores could also see some brief increase as Fausto (or its remnants) pass near the region Tuesday and Wednesday, then return to typical flat to tiny levels late Wednesday into the weekend.
