Swell Summary

Overlapping medium period north to northwest swells will keep small surf along north and west facing shores through the end of next week A series of late season south swells will keep surf heights boosted along south facing shores into into next weekend. Surf will remain small along east facing shores into early next week due to locally light winds and the lack of a significant fetch of trade winds upstream of the islands.
