Swell Summary

Surf along north facing shores has transitioned to a more northerly direction and will fall off rather quickly through the day. A small long period southwest swell will build late today into the weekend maintaining small surf along south-facing shores. East facing shores will remain small until trades return this weekend, but as this northwesterly swell clocks more north, exposed shorelines on the east sides will see swell energy wrap through today.
