Swell Summary

Two moderate, long-period NW and NNW swells moving through the waters will maintain elevated surf along N and W facing shores through Saturday and then trend down on Sunday. A hurricane force low E of Japan will bring another round of moderate, long- period NW (330 deg) swell into the islands towards the middle of next week leading to building surf along N and W facing shores. This next long-period swell may reach low-end High Surf Advisory thresholds Wednesday into Thursday.

A series of small, medium-to long-period S to SW swells will filter into the area through the weekend keeping surf along S facing shores from going flat. Short-period surf along E facing shores increases slightly on Saturday due to the stronger trades, then trends down slightly Sunday through early next week.
