Small to moderate surf along north and west facing shores will continue through the rest of the week as swell energy is reinforced by the slowly moving surface low northwest of the Hawaiian Islands. A larger swell will arrive around Tuesday, bringing north and west shore surf to just below advisory thresholds. Surf along east facing shores will remain small as local winds remain fairly weak.
