Swell Summary
The ongoing short period, near 7 foot swell will hold through the next north northwest swell arrival tomorrow. Long fetches produced within very large areas of near-gale to gale-force winds in association with low pressure systems passing far north of the area will send north to northwest swell of varying sizes and periods toward the islands the next several days. Most of this swell energy will be confined to the relatively shorter period bands. Resultant surf is expected to be near or above HSA heights along exposed north and west-facing shores from late Thursday going into the weekend.
A long period, very small south swell will gradually decline through tomorrow (Thursday). Another similar south swell is expected from Friday afternoon through the weekend, but it will may come in a touch smaller than this most recent swell.
