Swell Summary
A High Surf Advisory (HSA) for all east facing shores has been cancelled. Near shore observations show surf heights have dropped below advisory levels thresholds thus have went ahead and cancelled the HSA. Surf heights are expected to remain just below advisory thresholds through the weekend and trend down next week as trade wind speeds ease locally and upstream.
Surf along north facing shores will remain tiny today. A small, moderate period north-northwest (330 degree) swell will trickle in early Saturday and peak Saturday night, bringing a small boost in surf heights along north and west facing shores through the weekend. A slightly larger northwest swell will fill in Tuesday and peak Wednesday of next week that could bring near to slightly above average summertime surf for north and west facing shores.
A small, long period south swell will continue to fill in tonight, peak Saturday, boosting surf to near to slightly above average. This swell will begin to fade out Sunday. Another similar size south swell will slowly fill in Tuesday, peak Wednesday then slowly fade into the second half of next week.
