Swell Summary

Continued small overlapping south-southwest swells will produce south shore surf near August average this weekend and near to above average Monday and Tuesday. A larger swell will arrive Tuesday night and may push surf to the High Surf Advisory level late Wednesday through Friday. This swell should slowly decrease next weekend.

Along east-facing shores, short-period trade wind swell will generate surf just below August average through Thursday. Depending on how potential tropical cyclone development plays out southeast of the islands, an increase in southeast swell is possible Friday and next weekend. Aside from wrapping trade wind energy, surf along north-facing shores will remain flat to tiny through the week.
