Swell Summary

The current advisory level surf along south shores will gradually decline overnight through the weekend, then another south swell should arrive late Sunday into Monday and help build surf heights back to near advisory levels once again early next week.

East shore surf will remain elevated and choppy due to locally strong trade winds through this weekend, then gradually decline early next week as trades weaken.

Nearly flat summer conditions along north facing shores may be interrupted late this weekend by a small long period northwest swell from Typhoon Krosa, currently in the western Pacific.
