Swell Summary

Medium period northwest swell energy will boost surf heights along north and west facing shores today and tonight. Overlapping medium period north swell and long period north-northwest swell energy will move into the region early Friday morning and late Saturday respectively. These swells will keep surf heights elevated along north and west facing shores at least into Sunday.

Surf along east facing shores will stay choppy as trade winds build back into the region. Small long period south swells will continue to keep surf along south facing shores from going flat through much of next week.
