Swell Summary

Surf will remain low along all shores into next week. Small, medium period swells out of the north and northwest are expected to arrive through Saturday. A larger northwest swell will arrive Monday and peak later that day. An even larger northwest swell will build into mid week and is forecast to peak on or around Thanksgiving Day. Stronger trade flow over and upstream of the islands will introduce a higher east facing shore wind wave chop from Sunday on through next week.
