Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and east facing shores will remain rough due to a mix of locally-driven wind waves and a large medium- to long-period north-northeast (020 deg) swell moving through. Surf will hold at warning levels for eastern exposures tonight, then likely dip to advisory levels on Sunday as winds shift out of the east and the north-northeast swell slowly eases. Exposed north facing shores on the smaller islands have already been downgraded to advisory level surf tonight, based on buoy and shore observations.

Surf along north and west facing shores will trend up late Sunday through early next week as a long-period (forerunners expected to arrive through the day Sunday) northwest (310-320 deg) swell arrives. This swell will peak on Monday (advisory to near warning- level surf), then ease Tuesday through the second half of the week. Models show the next significant northwest swell arriving late next weekend.
