Swell Summary
Small south and southeast swells will keep modest background surf along south facing shores into this weekend. The locally strong trade winds will maintain choppy, moderate surf along east facing shores today. Expect the surf to gradually lower along east facing shores from later tonight through the end of the week as the trade winds weaken. Surf along north facing shores will remain small into mid-week. A moderate, medium-period north-northwest swell arriving Thursday will likely cause surf to increase along most north facing shores through early Friday. A reinforcing, medium-period north-northwest swell arriving Friday night may cause surf to reach the High Surf Advisory criteria along exposed north facing shores when it peaks this weekend.
