Swell Summary
A long-lived south swell will affect the islands during the next several days. Low, long-period forerunners of 19 to 21 seconds will build over the area through the night, and south shore surf is expected to rise near, or possibly to, the High Surf Advisory level during the peak of the swell Thursday afternoon through Friday. This long-lived swell will gradually decline Saturday through Monday, with a small pulse of south-southwest expected to follow early next week.
The current northwest swell will continue to decrease to tiny conditions tomorrow, followed by a reinforcing short-period north-northwest swell this weekend. Surf along east facing shores will be well below May average, as local trade winds remain suppressed into the weekend. Only a small increase is due Sunday or Monday as trade winds slowly rebuild.
