Swell Summary
A moderate, medium-period north to north-northeast swell (360-030 deg) is on the decline, and will continue to slowly decrease through the remainder of the weekend. A small, medium- period northwest (310-320 deg) swell will gradually decline through Monday. Another small, long period northwest (310-320 deg) swell is expected to arrive on Tuesday.
Surf along east facing shores is expected to lower this weekend as trade winds weaken. However, a fetch of strong to near gale- force winds will significantly increase easterly wind swell from Sunday night through the first half of the week, which should exceed advisory thresholds for east facing shores.
