Swell Summary

Surf along exposed east-facing shores has become fairly small as a north-northeasterly swell continues to taper off. Surf will hold at low levels as a fresh, short- to medium- period north- northeast swell arrives over the weekend. Short-period and choppy conditions are expected to return by midweek with the redevelopment of the trade winds upstream of the state.

Surf along north- and west-facing shores will trend up beginning Saturday as a west-northwest swell arrives. This swell will be of longer duration, peaking early next week before gradually lowering into midweek. Surf from this swell may fluctuate over time as the source region experiences multiple wind maxima.

Surf along south-facing shores will remain near or slightly below the seasonal average into March.
