Swell Summary

Surf along N and W facing shores will continue to slowly trend down through Sunday as two moderate, long-period NW and NNW swells fades. A developing hurricane force low near the dateline will bring another round of moderate, long-period NW (330 deg) swell into the islands towards the middle of the upcoming week leading to building surf along N and W facing shores. This next long- period swell may reach low-end High Surf Advisory thresholds late Wednesday into Thursday.

A series of small, medium- to long-period S to SW swells will continue to filter into the area through the upcoming week keeping surf along S facing shores from going flat. Short-period surf along E facing shores remains steady through Sunday due to the stronger trades, then trends down slightly early next week.
