Swell Summary

Elevated surf heights can be observed today across the south facing shores. This is from a swell that arrived earlier today and will continue supporting advisory level surf before another reinforcing pulse arrives tonight into tomorrow. Surf heights are expected to border on warning levels later tonight and hold through tomorrow. A High Surf Advisory for all south-facing shores is in effect through Sunday night and could be upgraded to a warning if the swell comes in larger. The swell will gradually fade through next week.

Surf for east facing shores should remain choppy tonight and should decrease slightly tomorrow as trade winds decrease. A medium period east swell from Tropical Storm Henriette may arrive around Sunday and briefly increase the east facing shores.

A small, medium northwest swell passing through today and tomorrow will keep north shore surf from going completely flat. Another tiny northwest swell is expected to arrive by Monday.
