The current north-northwest swell has lowered to around 6 feet 12-13 seconds at most of the north shore buoys this afternoon, which continues to be around a foot higher than the GFS Wave Watch model guidance. This swell is expected to hold somewhat steady tonight, before steadily declining through Friday. However, the surf along north facing shores has decreased below advisory level as of this afternoon.
Strong and gusty trades over and upstream of the islands will continue to drive rough surf along east facing shores through Friday. An out-of-season, south-southwest swell is peaking this afternoon with surf near to just below the summer average, then will slowly fade into this weekend.
