A small, long period south swell is filling in quite nicely. This swell will continue to build surf along south facing shores well above advisory levels later today and could reach near warning- levels late tonight into Saturday. A gradual downward trend is expected Sunday into early next week. After this swell moves out, very little swell is expected next week beginning around Tuesday. North- facing shore surf will become flat for the couple of days. Small, medium period northwest pulses may provide a tiny bumps Sunday night into middle of next week. Surf along east- facing shores will remain small and choppy each day due to a limited trade wind fetch upstream of the islands.
