Swell Summary

A small south southwest swell (14-15 seconds) will peak today slightly above the summer average. The swell will hold through Sunday before slowly subsiding early next week. Several small, south swells may move through the state next week, keeping small surf along south facing shores.

A tiny pulse from the north northwest is expected to fill in tonight, keeping tiny ripples along north facing shores through the rest of the weekend. Small, below average surf along east facing shores will persist through today. As trades build upstream and locally, expect east facing surf to gradually build Sunday into early next week. There is also a possibility of a small boost in east facing shore surf early next week from former Tropical Cyclone Emilia.
