Swell Summary
South-facing surf will begin lifting overnight as forerunners arrive ahead of a moderate size, long period south (190 degree) swell. The Samoa buoy observed this swell passage to be slightly above guidance as it peaked at around 9 feet Thursday afternoon HST. This should translate to reaching a local peak of 3 to 4 feet from Monday afternoon through Tuesday. This size swell increases the likelihood of pushing the highest surf heights to near advisory thresholds. Surf along the north and west-facing shores will also trend up Wednesday as a longer period northwest swell arrives from former Typhoon Ampil. This near 4 foot swell should peak out Wednesday through Thursday, then ease going into the weekend. East shore surf will remain somewhat choppy the next couple of days as a result of recently stronger trades over the islands. After a brief subsidence Tuesday, an upward trend in eastern shorter period chop will occur by the middle of the week as trades over and upstream of the state strengthen to more fresh magnitudes.
