Swell Summary

A moderate medium-period northwest swell will gradually fade over the next couple of days. A new long period swell will build Wednesday night and give another boost to north and west shore surf Thursday and Friday, followed by a gradual decline over the weekend into early next week.

A series of overlapping south swells will keep intermittent small surf rolling into south facing shores during the next week. A long period swell arriving Wednesday will likely provide a small bump through the end of the week.

Surf along east facing shores will remain below normal during the next 7 days due to the lack of strong trades over and upstream of the islands.
