Swell Summary

Surf heights will remain below advisory thresholds for all shores through the forecast period. The new small medium period northwest swell is filling today and expected to peak tonight. Another small, medium period northwest pulse will fill in Friday night, peak Saturday, before subsiding Sunday. Expect these swells to produce small surf along north and west facing beaches. Persistent trades will continue to produce choppy, rough surf through the rest of the week along east facing beaches. By this weekend, weakening winds will allow this surf to lower and hold into early next week. Small background southerly swell will lead to small surf along south facing beaches through the forecast period.
