Surf along east facing shores will gradually decrease tonight and will remain near seasonal averages through around Saturday due to east and northeast swells generate by former tropical cyclones. Surf along north facing shores continues to receive a small bump due to Lowell. This short-period northwest swell will quickly fade, allowing surf to become tiny along north facing shores on Thursday as Lowell weakens and tracks away from the islands.
