Swell Summary
A conveyor belt set up in the south Pacific has lead to an extended period of elevated surf along south facing shores through potentially the first half of June with numerous swell pulses expected, mainly from the south- southwest. The current south swell has peaked, leveled off and will gradually ease before additional long period energy arrives later in the week. The largest of the swells, which may not arrive until next weekend.
A small, long-period north swell has begun to fill in early this morning, it is expected to build through the day, and continue into Tuesday, with the potential for a small follow- up swell later in the week. A small north swell is also possible next weekend. Trade winds will continue to generate short-period wind waves the next couple of days, leading to choppy surf along exposed east facing shores. Wind waves will diminish significantly after Wednesday coinciding with the light winds.
