Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will begin to rise tonight through Saturday as a large long-period south-southeast swell begins to fill in. This will be a long-lived event lasting well into next week for southern exposures, with a peak possibly reaching the advisory level Saturday night through Sunday night. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough each day due to the strong trade winds. Surf along north and west facing shores will remain near the summertime average through Saturday, then slightly rise Sunday into next week as a small northwest swell arrives.
