Swell Summary

Small surf will persist across north facing shores over the next several days with background energy from the northwest and north expected. An upward trend is possible late Sunday as a small long-period north-northwest swell arrives from a system across the far northwest Pacific. Surf along east facing shores will trend down slightly as locally strong winds trend down over the weekend and veer out of the south. Surf along south facing shores remain small with mainly background south-southwest swell expected. The next long- period pulse is expected tonight that should hold through the weekend before moving out.
