Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores will remain around and just below the seasonal average through the weekend. Small surf will persist along south facing shores next week with a mix of background southeast trade wind swell and leftover medium-period southwest swell. Surf along north and west facing shores could come up slightly over the weekend, then remain up next week for northern exposures due to tiny north to north-northeast swells. Surf along east facing shores will remain near seasonal average through Saturday then decline slightly Sunday.
