Swell Summary
A pair of gale lows in the North Pacific will send a series of small northwest to north-northwest swells Friday night into the first half of next week. These swells should help maintain near average surf along north facing shores into next week. A storm- force low developing this weekend near the Aleutian Islands should send a slightly larger northwest swell towards the middle of next week.
The current short to medium period north-northeast swell will continue to decline this evening. A small fetch of strong northeast winds associated with the weak low northeast of the state, could provide some reinforcing short-period swell Friday afternoon into Saturday. Otherwise, below average surf is expected along east facing shores next week due to the lack of strong trade winds locally or upstream of the state.
Small background energy from the west will continue to linger the next few days and fade out this weekend. A small southwest bump from the Tasman Sea that passed across American Samoa's 51209 buoy yesterday is expected to arrive this weekend. No significant south swells are expected through the first half of next week.
