Swell Summary
A small, short period, northwest swell will bring small surf to north facing shores through this weekend. In the extended forecast, slightly larger long-period northwest swells will be possible towards the middle of next week.
A moderate long-period south-southwest swell will gradually fill in on Saturday and peak on Sunday above the summer average. As this swell declines on Monday, another reinforcing swell out of the south-southwest is expected on Tuesday. This should help maintain surf near or slightly above the summer average throughout the first half of next week.
Surf along east facing shores will steadily rise Sunday through early next week as swell energy from Tropical Cyclone Kiko arrives. The surf may approach High Surf Advisory Criteria as early as Monday and possibly breach High Surf Warning levels Monday night into Tuesday. However, surf heights will be highly depended on the track and intensity of Kiko as it nears the state.
