The locally strong trade winds will maintain slightly elevated, rough surf along east facing shores during the next few days. There may be a slight downward trend in surf along east facing shores if the trade winds weaken heading into next weekend. Small, medium-period north- northeast swells are expected to produce small surf along exposed north facing shores this week. A large northwest swell arriving early Saturday morning may cause surf to reach the High Surf Advisory criteria along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands next weekend. Elsewhere, surf along south facing shores will gradually lower through the end of this week.
