Swell Summary
Another small medium-period northwest swell began filling in earlier today, and combined with the fading small short-period northeast wind swell, will help to maintain small surf across north-facing shores into Saturday. The northeast swell will also bring slightly below average surf to east-facing shores into Saturday. As the trades strengthen through Saturday, surf heights will build slightly along east-facing shores.
A large medium-period northeast swell will arrive along north- and east-facing shores Sunday through early next week, with High Surf Advisory conditions looking likely.
Along south-facing shores, small background pulses will keep surf heights above flat conditions through early next week, with a slight bump possible on Saturday.
