Swell Summary
Surf along south-facing shores should peak tonight into Sunday morning with surf heights peaking just below advisory thresholds. This swell will slowly decline through the middle of next week and surf heights will return to background levels by the later half of next week.
Surf along east-facing shores should see a slight increase of rough and choppy surf due to the trade winds strengthening tonight into Sunday. Rough and choppy surf will persist throughout next week with a slight decrease in surf heights as the trades ease slightly early next week.
Surf along exposed north-facing shores will decline on Sunday as the current short-period north swell fades. A small northwest swell should fill in late Sunday into Monday, which should maintain some small surf along north facing shores through next week.
