Swell Summary
The active south Pacific will continue to generate southerly swells that will pass through the islands through the middle of the month. The current south-southwest swell has started to decline, and a continued gradual decline is expected through Thursday. Another reinforcing south-southwest swell is expected to arrive late Thursday and Friday, that is currently expected to bring south facing shore surf around the seasonal average.
The current small northwest swell is on the decline as shorter period energy is now moving through the islands. Another small pulse from the northwest is expected to build through the day into Thursday keeping surf elevated. Wind waves for east facing shores will decline today and will diminish significantly after today coinciding with the light winds through the weekend.
