Swell Summary
The north-northwest swell that has been moving through the islands for the past couple of days continues to slowly fade. While some small surf remains on north-facing shores, buoys have generally been trending down and north shore surf is expected to hover around the current levels through Friday. A reinforcing bump in north shore surf will be possible late Friday night or Saturday morning as a small short to medium period north swell fills into the region. However, the next significant north-northwesterly (340 degree) swell that could produce advisory-level surf along north facing shores is poised to arrive Sunday afternoon. This swell will peak Monday through Monday night, then slowly decline through rest of next week.
A small, long period south swell will reinforce the current background south swell tonight and continue small south shore surf through Friday. Surf along west-facing shores will continue to be influenced by a mixture of both north northwest and south swells. Thus, expect western exposures to remain slightly elevated as well. East-facing shore chop will be lower than normal over the next several days as trade wind flow remains relatively weak locally and upstream.
