Swell Summary

The current medium period north-northwest (330-340 degree) swell will continue to decline tonight into Saturday. A series of small overlapping northwest swells will maintain below average surf over the weekend through early next week. The first pulse should arrive late Saturday and peak on Sunday, followed by another pulse late Monday. A slightly larger north-northwest (330 degree) swell is expected Tuesday into Wednesday. In the long range, there is potential for a large long-period northwest towards the end of next week.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain small into next week due to the lack of persistent trade winds locally and upstream. South facing shores will remain nearly flat through the weekend. A tiny long-period south-southwest swell is possible Monday into Tuesday.
