Swell Summary
A moderate size, medium period north northeast swell (20-30 degrees), originating from the winds behind a cold front and its associated surface low northeast of the islands, is moving into the windward coastal waters this morning and will peak Saturday. The first sizable northwest swell (320-330 degrees) of the season will build underneath this north northeast swell Saturday. Surf associated with this northwest swell may reach High Surf Advisory criteria along most smaller island north and west-facing shores by Sunday morning. The next potentially larger northwest swell is scheduled to arrive during the middle of next week. Fresh trade wind flow upstream of the islands will generate choppy, more elevated seas along east-facing shores. East shores exposed to the north northeast swell will experience little change or a slight increase in surf through Saturday. A very small south southwest swell arriving later today will produce a minor bump in south-facing shore surf this weekend.
