Swell Summary
A moderate to large long period south (190 degrees) swell will hold near warning levels through tomorrow, then gradually decline through the weekend.
East shore surf will remain elevated and choppy due to locally strong trade winds through the weekend. This will be followed by a decline early next week as trades weaken.
Flat summer conditions along north facing shores may be interrupted late this weekend by a small long period northwest swell from former Typhoon Krosa, currently in the western Pacific.
