Swell Summary

Moderate, long period NW swell maintains near to above average surf along N and W facing shores through the end of the week. A brief moderate, long period NNW swell advances through the area on Friday in maintenance of elevated surf and then tapers off Saturday. Surf along N and W shores then trends down through the weekend. A hurricane force low is forecast to develop east of Japan later today and could bring another round of moderate, long period northwest swell early next week. A series of small, medium to long period south to southwest swells filter into the area into the weekend, keeping S shores from going flat. Short period surf along E shores picks up today into the weekend as trades strengthen.
