Swell Summary

A small, medium-period, west-northwest to northwest (300-330) swell continues to fill in this afternoon and will likely peak tonight, then gradually decline over the next few days. Another smaller reinforcing swell will also fill in tonight into Wednesday.

A moderate, medium-period north-northeast swell also started filling in today and will steadily fill in tonight and peak on Wednesday near advisory thresholds for east facing shores. This swell will produce above average surf for select north and east facing shores on Wednesday, before slowly declining through the end of the week. Strengthening trades late this week will support closer to seasonal average surf for east facing shores into the weekend.

As the former Super Typhoon Sinlaku made its extra tropical transition last weekend, it gradually traveled eastward along our great circle route. This could bring some west swell along select exposures starting today through the next several days. Peak energy from the former Typhoon is expected late Wednesday or Thursday and could wrap into select southwest facing exposures. Otherwise a small southwest swell from the Tasman Sea should arrive this weekend.
