Swell Summary

The current north northwest swell will remain elevated through this evening and keep surf just shy of High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria along north facing shores through early Saturday. A small to moderate, medium period, northerly swell is progged to fill in late Saturday, along with a small, long to medium period west northwesterly swell. This combination of swells may boost surf heights back up Saturday night into Sunday, but should remain shy of HSA criteria. Sunday night into early next week, the swell fades and should allow surf to drop to below seasonal averages.

Surf along east facing shores will remain small given the lack of trade winds upstream of the islands through Saturday, but areas exposed to the north swell will see an uptick through the rest of the weekend. As trade winds gradually strengthen later this weekend, east facing shores could become rough and choppy Sunday through early next week. Surf along south facing shores will remain flat to tiny through the weekend into early next week.
