Swell Summary
Surf heights will remain below advisory thresholds for all shores through the forecast period. Multiple small northwest swells are expected now through Saturday night. Expect these swells to produce small surf along north and northwest facing shores. A small southerly swell will lead to a slight bump in surf heights along south facing beaches through this afternoon. Strong trade winds will continue to produce choppy, rough surf along east facing beaches through this afternoon. Smaller, smoother surf is expected along east facing shores starting Saturday and continuing through the coming week.
