Swell Summary

Rough conditions due to strong trade winds and large surf will continue along exposed east facing shores through the week. Although the winds will relax next weekend, surf along east facing shores will remain up due to strong winds far east of the state. For north and west facing shores, surf will remain well below the seasonal average each day, with only a small west-northwest swell expected Friday into the weekend. Surf will remain small along south facing shores with mainly wind swell wrapping into exposed shores.
