Swell Summary
Large, trade wind generated seas will dominate for the next several days. The High Surf Advisory for exposed east facing shores has been extended through Saturday. As trade winds ease this weekend, the rough east shore surf will slowly decline. The trade wind swell should fall to around April average Monday or Tuesday. A small, medium- period north- northeast swell mixed in with the trade wind swell will continue to fade this morning. Surf along north and west facing shores will remain minimal through the weekend. A small, long to medium period northwest swell is expected to fill in early next week that could revive small surf along north and west facing shores late Monday into mid week. For southern shores, small pulses of medium period south- southeast swell and long period southwest swell may arrive this weekend, though surf along south- facing shores will remain small through the next several days.
