Swell Summary
The current moderate, medium period north-northeast (010-030 degrees) swell continues to boost surf heights along north facing shores. This swell is expected to be on the decline Friday. A combination of the declining north-northeast swell and a small long period west-northwest swell will keep smaller surf in the forecast this weekend. The next large long period northwest swell is expected over the first half of next week.
Rough and choppy surf along east facing shores will gradually decline as trade winds ease over the next few days. Some wrap around energy from the medium period north-northeast swell will create choppy rough surf conditions along east sides of all islands. Surf along south facing shores will remain very small through the week.
