A large northwest swell will reach the local waters tonight and quickly build on Thursday. Warning level surf is expected Thursday afternoon through Friday along the north and west facing shores of the smaller islands.

A reinforcing northwest swell should arrive Saturday night, keeping some moderate sized surf in place along north and west facing shores through early next week.
