Swell Summary
A west-northwest swell peaked earlier today and will gradually decline over the next couple of days. Surf along most north and west facing shores will be just below advisory levels through the evening, while west facing shores of the Big Island continue to experience advisory level surf overnight. Additonal pulses of small northwest swell are expected Thursday and Saturday.
Rough east shore surf has fallen to around seasonal average this afternoon and will lower tonight through Wednesday as the belt of trade winds east of the islands declines. A fetch of stronger trade winds will expand east of Hawaii late Wednesday and Thursday, boosting rough east shore surf back to around March average. A small pulse of south-southwest swell is possible on Tuesday, but otherwise, mainly background level surf will prevail for south shores.
