Swell Summary
A long-period northwest swell will build through tonight, producing high surf along exposed north and west facing shores through at least Wednesday. Strengthening trade winds will bring increasing shorter- period north to northeast wind waves, leading to choppy surf along most windward shores. The northwest swell will become increasingly northerly on Wednesday, with another pulse of mixed-period north to northeast swell arriving Thursday night and Friday leading to high surf along north facing shores. This swell will gradually lower over the weekend.
