Swell Summary

A high surf advisory (HSA) remains in effect for all east facing shores through Friday afternoon due to strong trade wind swell holding into the weekend. Winds may ease a touch tonight allowing surf to drop below advisory levels Friday afternoon through the weekend but conditions will remain borderline and thus will continue to monitor in case there is a need to extend the HSA.

Surf along north facing shores will remain small into Friday. The next small north- northwest (330 degree) swell will fill in locally Friday night, increasing surf heights along north and west- facing shores through the weekend.

A series of small, long-period south swells will support near- average surf along south-facing shores over the next several days.
