Swell Summary




Surf along south-facing shores will remain around head high this morning as a moderate size, long period south southwest swell peaks out. This swell will begin to decline from this afternoon through early Thursday. Surf along north and west-facing shores will trend up Wednesday as a long period west northwest swell arrives from former Typhoon Ampil. This swell should peak Wednesday through Thursday and then ease going next weekend. East-facing shore surf will remain somewhat small today, then chop will pick up Wednesday through the remainder of the week in response to increasing trades over and upstream of the island chain.
