Swell Summary
The current long-period northwest swell peaked this morning, and has been trending down a little faster than anticipated. Therefore, the High Surf Warning (HSW) has been downgraded to a High Surf Advisory for most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands. Surf is expected to fall below advisory level by Monday morning. A series of reinforcing long- period northwest swells will arrive next week, possibly bringing north shore surf back to advisory levels late Tuesday and Tuesday night, and again on Friday before declining next weekend. South shore surf will remain close to seasonal levels during the next 7 days. East shore surf will remain small through Monday, then build to near or slightly above normal Tuesday into next weekend as trade winds strengthen over and upstream of the island chain.
