Swell Summary

No significant swells are expected this week. A new south swell is expected Tuesday, peaking Tuesday night, and then slowly declining Wednesday. Another small, long period south swell will fill Thursday and persist into next weekend. Surf heights from these swells will remain near seasonal averages along south facing shores through much of this week.

A trough northeast of Hawaii will generate a short period fresh north swell that will reach the islands by Wednesday night, peaking late Thursday into Friday. This swell may bring small to moderate surf along exposed shorelines. Evolution of this trough and its close proximity to the islands brings increased uncertainty to the surf height forecast this week along north and east facing shores.
