Swell Summary




Existing small S swell will fade tonight and will be quickly replaced by a similarly sized medium period S swell during Thursday. Small, medium period energy remains prevalent heading into the weekend. A larger, medium to long period S swell arrives early next week and likely peaks shy of the High Surf Advisory threshold by the middle of next week. Long period forerunners are expected to arrive as early as Friday evening or Friday night.

Along E shores, trade wind swell and moderate trades maintain elevated surf. Surf will build this weekend in response to strengthening trade winds. Surf along N and W shores remains flat to tiny through the period.
