Swell Summary
The current northwest swell will gradually decline tonight. The High Surf Advisory (HSA) for exposed north and west facing shores has been cancelled, however, near advisory level will continue through the late afternoon and early evening before falling overnight.
A new long-period northwest swell will arrive late Saturday and Saturday night, peak Sunday into Sunday night, then lower on Monday. This swell will give another boost to surf along north and west facing shores, but will likely remain below advisory levels. A pair of overlapping northwest swells will then move through early next week, with the first arriving early Monday, peaking late Monday and Monday night. The second will build Monday night, peak Tuesday then gradually decline through next Thursday. These overlapping swells may bring another round of advisory level surf to most north and west facing shores Monday afternoon through Tuesday night.
East shore surf not exposed to the series of northwest swells will gradually rise through Saturday as the trades return over and upstream of the islands. Surf along east facing shores will then hold relatively steady Sunday, then lower a bit Monday through Wednesday as the trades ease slightly. East shore surf could trend lower again late next week as an approaching front disrupts the trades over the islands.
South shore surf will remain very small through the middle of next week. An out of season long-period south swell may move through the islands late next week, bringing a sizable boost to south shore surf.
