Swell Summary

Pulses of south to southwest swell are due this week, with High Surf Advisory conditions expected by Thursday. Even though the bulk of a south swell will be passing east of Hawaii, south shore surf may rise to around May average tonight and Monday, then decline Tuesday and Wednesday. Forerunners from a larger and longer lived south-southwest swell will arrive Wednesday, and surf is expected rise to the advisory level during the peak of the swell Thursday and Friday.

A pair of small northwest swells will move through over the next several days. As the current small northwest swell declines tonight, a small reinforcing swell of around 3 feet will fill in through Monday, peak Tuesday, then decline Tuesday and Wednesday. Wind-driven waves of 8 to 9 feet at 9 seconds will maintain rough east shore surf above the May average into Monday. As trade winds decline over the next few days, these seas will gradually decline to around May average by Tuesday, then drop to below average for the rest of the week.
