A low pressure system to the north will result in moderate south to southeast winds and enhanced showers across the state into Friday. Weak trades may nose in from the east this weekend and early next week, but a trough will remain west of the area keeping winds fairly light across the western half of the state.
Moderate south swell will continue into next week with a long period reinforcement arriving Saturday. Surf along south facing shores will remain just below advisory levels during this time before declining by the middle of next week.
Moderate surf is also expected along north and west facing shores through Friday and declining through the weekend. A slightly larger swell will arrive around Tuesday, boosting north shore surf but staying below advisory levels. West facing shores will be impacted by both the northwest and south swells, but surf should stay below advisory levels. Surf along east facing shores will remain small as local winds remain fairly weak.
None.
