Swell Summary

A moderate, medium-period north to north-northeast swell (360-030 deg) will peak this evening and hold through Saturday morning, then slowly decrease. Surf heights along north facing shores are expected to peak just below High Surf Advisory thresholds.

Surf along east facing shores should lower tonight into Saturday, as trade winds weaken. However, a fetch of strong to locally near gale force trade winds will bring a significant increase of easterly wind swell from Sunday night into early next week and could boost surf heights to approach or surpass advisory thresholds for east facing shores. Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny through the forecast period.
