HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

A new long-period south-southwest swell continues to fill in this evening and is expected to peak on Friday. Forerunners from a much larger south-southwest swell should gradually fill in Friday and peak on Saturday near High Surf Warning thresholds. This swell should gradually fade Sunday into the first half of next week.

Moderate to locally strong trades will continue to produce rough and choppy surf the next few days along east facing shores. Some mid-period east swell is possible from Tropical Storm Henriette this weekend which could produce some moderate surf.

West Pacific typhoon activity over the past week will continue to produce small swells from the west-northwest to northwest through early next week for exposed north facing shores.
