Swell Summary

The moderate, medium period SW swell originating from Nolo has eased slightly with the latest observations coming in below the High Surf Advisory (HSA). The HSA has therefore been allowed to expire. Surf along E shores has declined in response to emerging SE flow. Surf will remain small until moderate trades return early next week providing a modest boost. Multiple rounds of tiny swell originating out of the northwest quadrant will reach north and select west facing exposures next week as the storm track in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands becomes increasingly active.
