Swell Summary

A new northwest to north-northwest (320-330 degree) swell continues to fill in this afternoon and will likely peak tonight into Thursday morning then slowly decline into Friday. Looking further ahead, a storm-force low currently in the North Pacific will send a moderate, longer-period northwest swell toward the islands for late Friday into Saturday, with above average surf expected along north and west facing shores. Average H1/10 heights for north facing shores is 6 feet for the month of May (Goddard- Caldwell Database).

Surf along south-facing shores will remain small through much of the week, with mainly background south to southwest swell expected. A small south-southwest pulse should arrive this weekend from recent activity east of New Zealand, providing an increase in surf especially by Sunday.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain small and choppy through midweek, with a slight rise possible Thursday and Friday as trades strengthen.
