Swell Summary
Surf along north facing shores will slowly ease as a north- northeast swell fades through Wednesday. Small, long period forerunners of the next significant north- northwest swell is expected to arrive by the end of the day Friday. This swell is expected to peak near advisory level (15 feet) Saturday into Sunday.
A combination of a fading small, medium- period easterly swell and persistent trade winds locally and upstream swell will maintain elevated, rough surf along east facing shores through the rest of the week. East shore surf may ease over the weekend.
