Swell Summary

A small long period south-southwest swell moving through the islands is peaking today and will then gradually decline through early next week. A similarly-sized long-period south-southwest swell is expected to arrive Wednesday into Thursday, bringing another boost to south shore surf.

East shore surf will remain near seasonal average through the rest of the weekend as trade winds persist, then gradually decline through mid-week as the trades weaken slightly. Surf along north facing shores will remain tiny through the next several days. A surface low near the Aleutians this weekend is expected to send a small, medium period north-northwest swell towards the islands during the later half of next week.
