Swell Summary
The recent small, long period south swell will continue its decline through tomorrow. Two more small, long period south swells are scheduled to arrive Friday night and Sunday night respectively. The first of these swells will likely only lead to a minor bump in surf, while the second is expected to be a little more noticeable, though will likely remain below the summer average.
East-facing shore surf will remain rough and choppy as moderate to locally strong trades blow through Friday, then drop a notch as the trades ease slightly later this weekend into early next week. A very small northwest swell originating behind a front hanging up far northwest of the islands is expected to arrive early next week.
