Swell Summary
The current north-northeast swell will continue to gradually ease along with diminishing trade winds, which will allow surf along north- and east-facing shores to trend down through the weekend. Surf along north- and west-facing shores will trend up beginning Saturday as a fresh west-northwest swell arrives. This swell will peak early next week before gradually lowering into midweek. Surf along south-facing shores will remain near the seasonal average into March, but could trend up in the long range, possibly by the second week of March.
