Swell Summary
Energy shifting toward the shorter period bands at the Waimea Bay PacIOOS buoy this afternoon indicates the gradual departure of the current NNW (330) swell. Moderate surf along N and W facing shores has therefore likely reached its minimum along N and W facing shores for the time being. Longer period energy associated with a NNW (330-340) swell has registered on offshore NDBC buoys 51101 and 51001 this afternoon, and surf will be on the rise tonight peaking near the High Surf Advisory (HSA) threshold. This short- lived swell then fades Saturday into early next week. E facing shores experience short period fresh swell and plenty of wind wave action courtesy of ongoing strong trades. Surf will trend downward beginning late Saturday as trades gradually weaken. South facing shores see small background swell through the week.
