Swell Summary
North and west facing shores will continue to decline through tonight as the moderate northwest swell slowly fades. A large to extra-large, long period west- northwest swell will build in Saturday and peak Sunday producing surf well into the High Surf Warning (HSW) levels for most north and west facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small into next week due to a lack of easterly trade winds locally and upstream of the islands. Surf along south facing shores will remain flat over the next several days.
