Surf along north and west facing shores will hold steady today as a northwest swell that arrived Monday continues to move through. As this swell begins to move out Thursday, a fresh north-northwest swell arriving will drive surf heights toward the advisory levels by the end of the day. This swell will continue into Friday, then ease into the weekend. A small northwest swell arriving later on Saturday should be enough to keep the surf from going flat through the weekend. Surf along east facing shores is on the rise, and may reach the advisory level late Thursday due to strong easterly trade winds. Expect the rough surf conditions to continue for east facing shores through the weekend.
