Swell Summary

Small medium period N-NNE swell from a close proximity low has been filling in today higher than guidance across N and E facing shores. This swell is expected to peak this afternoon before holding tomorrow, then decreasing by Saturday. There is also a small NW swell that will be filling in today through the weekend helping to keep surf heights slightly elevated. A small medium period NW swell is then expected to fill in Monday and decline slowly through next week. Tiny to small background N and NW pules will keep north shores from going completely flat for the remainder of next week.

Surf for south facing shores will remain small today before a small to medium long period south swell arrives on Friday and peaks over the weekend slightly above the September average (5 ft). This swell will then slowly subside through next week.

Trade wind chop should increase by Sunday as trade winds return.
