Swell Summary

A reinforcing moderate, long period northwest swell energy will fill in early this morning, maintaining near to above average surf along north and west facing shores through Friday. A brief moderate, long period NNW swell will move through Friday, but should taper off Saturday keeping surf elevated. Surf along north and west facing shores will trend down through the weekend. A hurricane force low is expected to develop east of Japan later today and could bring another round of elevated surf along north and west facing shores early next week.

A series of small, medium to long period south to southwest swells will continue to filter into the area through the rest of the week and into the weekend, keeping south-facing shores from going flat. East-facing shores surf will gradually pick up today into the weekend as trades strengthen and persist.
