Swell Summary

A gradually fading north-northeast (010-030 deg) swell will maintain elevated surf above High Surf Advisory levels for east facing shores of most islands tonight. Surf should fall below advisory levels by Thursday and continue a gradual decline through Friday. As east shore surf continues to decline this weekend, a small northwest swell will arrive and linger into early next week. Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny through the week.
