Swell Summary

A moderate, medium period NNW swell has shifted more N and will gradually trend down through Sunday producing below average surf along N and W facing shores. A tiny, long period NW swell will fill in Monday into Tuesday before subsiding Wednesday which will prevent surf from going flat. In the long range, guidance depicts a gale forming Monday near the Kurils then tracking northeast to the western Aleutians by Wednesday. In this scenario, Hawaii would experience an uptick in the NW swell next weekend.

Surf along E facing shores will remain below the April average through the weekend. E shore surf could becomes tiny by mid week as southerly winds emerge.

A tiny, long period S swell will move through this weekend providing a small boost in surf along S facing shores. A larger, long- period SSW swell will fill in Monday into Tuesday and produce near to above average surf along S facing shores.
