Swell Summary
A fresh pulse of mid-period NNW swell peaked well below High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels on Wednesday and will diminish Thursday. A larger N swell will likely arrive Thursday night and Friday, pushing surf heights to High Surf Advisory heights along N facing shores. The low passing north of the islands will continue to intensify as it moves away, likely delivering a larger N-NNE swell from Sunday into next week. A couple moderate-sized WNW swells are also expected, a smaller one this weekend, and a slightly larger one from Monday into Wednesday.
Rough and choppy surf (due to increasing short-period wind waves) will develop along S and W facing shores from tonight through Friday due to the increasingly strong low-level S-SW winds.
