Swell Summary

Existing SSW swell declines through Monday followed by a smaller SSW swell expected to peak on Wednesday. A trough NE of Hawaii will generate a short period fresh NNE swell that will reach the islands on Thursday and peak on Friday bringing moderate surf to exposed shorelines. Evolution of this trough and its close proximity to the islands brings increased uncertainty to the surf forecast for N and E facing shores early next week. For now, E facing shores experience surf falling below the seasonal average during the near term as winds decline through mid-week followed by a bump from the aforementioned NNE swell during the latter half of this week.
