Swell Summary
The current large northwest swell will continue to slowly decline with the direction gradually shifting around to the north tonight through the weekend. Surf will remain at advisory levels along most north and west facing shores tonight, and could linger into the Thursday if it lowers more slowly than expected. A new northwest swell is forecast to build Sunday night and Monday, with surf potentially reaching advisory levels on Tuesday for most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands.
Surf along south facing shores will hold above the October average through the remainder of the work week as overlapping southerly swells move through. A new long-period, south swell is expected to continue to fill in tonight, then peak Thursday through Friday. Surf will decline over the weekend into early next week, with the potential for another well above average south swell around the middle to latter part of next week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through Thursday, then pick up Friday as a moderate short-period northeast swell moves through the islands. This will be a short-lived event with a quick drop off expected by Saturday.
