Swell Summary
Several overlapping northwest swells are due this week. The latest moderate northwest swell will lead to a peak in surf near High Surf Advisory levels along most north and west facing shores from Kauai to Maui overnight. This swell will decline late Monday and Tuesday, followed by a larger northwest swell building Tuesday night. This swell will lead to surf well in excess of advisory levels for most north and west facing shores Wednesday into early Thursday. After a decline in swell later Thursday and Friday, a moderate northwest swell will follow next weekend.
An inconsistent pulse of early season, south-southwest swell has been building today. Expect the swell to peak slightly above March average tonight and Monday, then gradually decline through Wednesday. Short period trade wind swell will be below seasonal average through Thursday and will likely pick up Friday and next weekend as trade winds increase.
