Swell Summary
Surf heights along north and west facing shores will continue to slowly decline today as the current northwest swell continues to diminish. Models show that another moderate size northwest swell will move swiftly into the region from Friday morning into the weekend. Surf heights will approach advisory levels early Friday morning, then reach low end High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels by Friday afternoon for exposed north and west facing shores of the western islands. This new northwest swell will likely fall below HSA thresholds by Saturday night, and then continue to decline through the first half of next week. The next extra large long period northwest swell arrives by next week Thursday with the potential for extra large surf well above warning levels along exposed north and west facing shores. Stay tuned.
Expect small background south swell pulses to continue through the middle of next week. A small swell with Tasman Sea origins may produce a slight bump in south shore surf from Friday through Sunday.
