The current small, northwest to north-northwest (320-335 degree), swell will slowly decline into Friday and produce near average surf along north facing beaches. A compact storm-force low developed just east of the Kuril Island on Monday and tracked toward the Aleutian Islands for a few days. This storm should send a moderate, long-period northwest (320 degree) swell towards the islands late Friday into Saturday and generate above average surf along north and west facing shores on Saturday. Average H1/10 heights for north facing shores is 6 feet for the month of May (Goddard-Caldwell Database).
Surf along south-facing shores will remain small through the rest of this work week, with mainly background south to southwest swell expected. A small, long period, south-southwest pulse should arrive late Friday and give a bump up to south facing shores through this weekend.
Surf along east-facing shores will see a boost tonight into Friday as the trades briefly strengthen to widespread fresh to strong trade winds. Trades will then slowly weaken this weekend and allow surf along east-facing shores to decrease to below average levels by early next week.
