Swell Summary
A long-period northwest (320-330) swell will continue trending down and shift to a more northerly direction (340-360) through Friday. Surf heights will decrease further into the weekend and get minor bumps from small reinforcing northwest swells. Long range models show the potential for a larger north (360) swell by the middle through the latter half of next week.
Rough and choppy surf along east facing shores will hold through the weekend due to the strong trade winds. A High Surf Advisory for exposed east facing shores is in effect through Saturday. Surf heights should gradually decrease next week as trade wind speeds decrease.
Surf heights along south facing shores remains small through the period.
