Swell Summary
The current moderate long-period northwest swell (320 to 330 degrees) is expected to gradually downtrend tonight through Friday. A smaller north- northwest swell (330 to 350 degrees) building in Friday night and peaking on Saturday will provide reinforcement for the weekend.
Multiple small south and southwest swells are expected now into early next week. The first, a long period southwest swell will decline overnight. The second, a small short period southwest swell will overlap the first and linger through the weekend. The next long- period south- southwest swell is expected to arrive on Monday and peak late Tuesday or Wednesday.
East facing shores will remain small through at least Sunday due to the lack of strong trades upstream of the state. Breezy trade winds and short period easterly surf should return by Wednesday.
