Swell Summary

A small, long-period west-northwest swell from former Super Typhoon Bavi has arrived, peaking through Thursday before gradually subsiding into the weekend. This swell is overlapping for some west-facing shores with a gradually fading small, medium-period southwest Tasman swell that is currently bringing near-average surf to south-facing shores. A moderate, long-period south swell will arrive early next week, bringing the potential for above-average (though sub-advisory) surf.

The west-northwest Bavi swell is bringing a slight uptick in surf along exposed north-facing shores this afternoon. This surf will hold into Thursday before gradually fading and returning north shores to flat to tiny status for the weekend.

Surf along east-facing shores will be slightly below seasonal averages through Thursday with lighter trade winds, then climb back up a notch as trades strengthen through the weekend. Early to midweek next week, there's potential for a small, long- to medium- period swell to arrive, generated from Tropical Storm Elida.
