Swell Summary
The current small to moderate size, medium period north northwest swell that peaked late yesterday has been gradually falling through the day. A similar sized west northwest swell will move into the northwest waters tonight and peak across the islands Friday afternoon. North and west-facing shore surf will remain under advisory thresholds.
Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy but stay just under advisory thresholds. As winds fall off this weekend, so will this east chop.
