Forecast
:  Choppy surf along east facing shores will hold through the first half of the upcoming new week, due to persistent trades locally and upstream. A small, long-period south-southwest swell will peak, generating small surf through Sunday, before declining Monday. Background southeast and south swells will then keep tiny surf along south facing shores through much of the new week. Surf along north facing shores will remain nearly flat through much of the new week. Models show a gale low developing and tracking along the Aleutian Islands early in the new week, that may send a small northwest swell into the local waters toward the end of the week.
