Swell Summary

A large, long period northwest swell will fill in tonight, peak Thursday and Thursday night, then gradually lower Friday through the weekend. This swell is expected to produce warning-level surf along most north and west facing shores as it peaks, and a High Surf Warning will likely be required later today. A couple small to moderate sized northwest and north swells will move through early next week, but surf should remain below advisory levels.

Surf along east facing shores will trend slightly lower today through Saturday as the winds locally and upstream of the islands diminish. East shore surf will then rebound back to near normal levels late Sunday through early next week as the trades return.
