Swell Summary

The current, medium period northwest swell peaked earlier today and will continue to decline tonight into early Friday. Another moderate, medium period, northwest swell (310-330 degrees) is forecast to arrive Saturday into Sunday, and could once again produce surf at or near advisory levels along north and west facing shores. Looking ahead to the middle of next week, a large, long period, northwest (310-330 degree) swell has the potential bring advisory or even warning level surf along north and west facing shores.

East shore surf will decline Friday into this weekend as trades weaken over and upstream of the islands.
