Swell Summary
A long-lived south swell will affect the islands into the weekend. Recent observations show that surf along south facing shores has fallen just below advisory levels, so the High Surf Advisory has been cancelled. Although the swell will continue for the next several days, surf should slowly trend down as the period declines. Another series of overlapping, long-period south swells will give another sizable boost to south shore surf Wednesday through late next week.
A small, reinforcing short-period north-northwest swell will increase north and west shore surf this evening through Saturday morning, then decline later Saturday into Sunday. A new small, long-period northwest swell will build Sunday night, giving north shore surf a boost early next week. Surf along east facing shores will be well below normal levels through the middle of next week.
