Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will hold just below advisory levels through tomorrow as a small, long period south southwest swell continues. The swell will gradually fade through the weekend. Then another similar sized south swell is expected by the middle to the later half of next week.

Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy due to persistent trade wind swell. A small, medium period east swell from Tropical Storm Iselle may fill in Friday, peak Saturday before slowly fading into early next week. Additional medium period east swell is possible next week, resulting from Tropical Storms Karina and Lowell. This swell will depend on their track and intensity.

Surf along north facing shores will remain tiny to flat.
