Swell Summary

Expect a gradual downward trend in surf along south facing shores as the current medium-period south-southwest swell lowers from tonight into this weekend. The current moderate, choppy surf along east facing shores will steadily lower through this weekend as the trades weaken locally, and upstream of the state. A small north-northwest swell may arrive in the islands early next week, which may cause a bump in surf along exposed north facing shores starting next Monday.
