Swell Summary

Large short period northeast swell generated by a strong trade fetch will be on the gradual decline through the weekend as a result of weakening local and upstream trades. Large surf for east shores is possible by the middle of next week depending on the evolution of a potential surface trough and approaching cold front.

A small, medium period northwest swell will fill in late Saturday afternoon and provide a small boost to north and west-facing shores through the weekend. Small medium to long period west- northwest swells will then keep surf from going flat early next week. A moderate long period west northwest swell is possible next week and could bring advisory level surf to north and west shores by the middle of next week.

For south shores, small background southerly swell will remain through the weekend and into early next week.
