Swell Summary
A northwest (320 degree) and north (350 degree) swell will pass through the region through Saturday, with both swells peaking at high end advisory levels for exposed north and west facing shores. As the north component becomes more dominate Saturday, surf along west facing shores will fall below advisory levels, while surf along north facing shores lingers above advisory levels. Surf is expected to fall below advisory levels for north facing shores by Saturday night. Lows developing and moving over the northwest Pacific over the weekend and next week will generate additional northwest swells that are expected to reach the islands. These swells will maintain surf along north and west facing shores, with blocks of time when the surf will approach or exceed advisory levels.
