Swell Summary
Existing small WNW swell will gradually fade through the weekend. Another slightly smaller NW swell is anticipated early next week in maintenance of elevated surf along N and W shores. Guidance then indicates another long period NW (320) swell arriving late next week. This swell will be generated by a developing low near Japan that is forecast to lift NE toward the Kuril Islands this weekend. Surf along S shores trends up this weekend as a long period SSW pulse arrives. This swell will peak late Sunday into Monday. As trades steadily weaken, wind waves and trade wind swell will follow with diminishing surf expected along E facing shores during the next several days.
