Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will begin to climb this evening as a fresh, long-period south-southwest swell arrives. This swell will peak Monday through Tuesday, likely below the advisory level, then slowly ease Wednesday. High water levels combined with the south swell could lead to additional coastal flooding issues for south facing shores. Surf along north and west facing shores will trend up around Wednesday as a long-period west-northwest swell arrives and builds down the island chain. This should peak Wednesday night through Thursday, then ease by next weekend. Surf along east facing shores will ease through Tuesday, then trend up Wednesday through the second half of the week.
