Swell Summary

The current small medium-period south-southwest (190-200 degrees) swell will plateau through Saturday just below the summer average. A small to moderate, long- period southwest swell (220 degrees) is expected to fill in late Saturday through Monday, which can elevate surf through early next week.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the forecast period as fresh to strong trades hold. A series of small, moderate period west (270 to 280 degrees) swells are expected to arrive this evening and hold into early next week, sourced from Typhoon Bavi in the far western Pacific. Surf along north- facing shores is expected to remain flat to tiny with no significant swells forecast from the north or northwest.
