East-facing shore surf will subtly subside this weekend in response to a vicinity ridge axis and resultant lighter east trades. East- facing shore surf will again become rough and choppy through most of next week as fresh to locally strong trades make a comeback. Several days of a fresh to locally strong trade fetch over and upstream of the islands may push elevated surf along east-facing shores to just under High Surf Advisory thresholds by Wednesday. No north swell equates to a near flat weekend along many north and west-facing shores. The only exception will be along more eastern facing exposures that will receive some trade wind swell wrap. A moderate size, medium period north (350 degree) swell will arrive Monday and peak surf along north- facing shores Tuesday. Except for the south-facing Big Island coast where there will be a combination of both a fading short period east trade wind swell combined with a small southeast swell, smaller island south-facing shore surf will stay small as very small, short period background southeast to southwest swells roll in.
