Swell Summary
The current long period northerly swell will continue to trend downward through the weekend. Some minor bumps are expected from small reinforcing northwest swells. A large, medium period northerly swell will build into the region during the second half of next week, however there remains uncertainties for this swell regarding the timing and size.
Along east facing shores a High Surf Advisory remains in effect through Sunday. Rough and choppy surf is expected through the weekend due to these strong trade winds. Surf heights along east facing shores will decrease early next week as trade wind speeds weaken.
Along south facing shores, expect surf to remain small through the forecast period.
