Swell Summary

An easterly wind fetch generated by lowering pressures south and west of the islands will significantly increase easterly wind wave swell through early Wednesday. This east swell will impact most eastern facing shores of all islands. Thus, a High Surf Advisory will remain in effect for all east-facing shores through early Wednesday morning.

A moderate, medium period, north northeast (020-030 degree) swell will veer to a more easterly through Tuesday. Therefore, moderate surf along north facing beaches is expected to decline. The next small, long period, northwest (310 degree) swell will build late Tuesday and hold through Friday.
