Swell Summary

The current small to moderate north-northeast swell will slowly decline through the weekend. A small medium to long period northwest swell is expected to start filling in through the afternoon and hold through Saturday before declining Sunday. Surf along east facing shores exposed to the north swell will remain elevated today before declining Saturday. Another small medium period northwest swell is expected to fill in Monday and decline slowly through next week. Tiny to small background north and northwest pules will keep north shores from going completely flat through the middle of next week.

Surf along south facing shores will gradually build as a small medium to long period south swell fills in today and holds through the weekend. Trade wind chop should increase by Sunday as trade winds return.
