Swell Summary

Overlapping, moderate, medium period north swells will produce surf below the High Surf Advisory level during the peak this afternoon and evening. North swell will gradually decline Sunday through Tuesday. A similarly sized north-northeast swell is expected to arrive late Wednesday and persist through Friday, with the largest swells favoring the eastern end of the island chain.

For east facing shores, wrapping north swell will produce moderate surf along exposed coastlines through Sunday, while sheltered areas will experience small surf. Returning trade winds will produce building surf on Monday, with rough conditions above seasonal average possible Monday night into Wednesday. As trade winds over and upwind of the islands ease during the second half of the week, east shore surf will decline below average by Christmas. Surf along south facing shores will remain very small through the week.
