Advertiser Staff
A high-surf advisory for east shores has been extended until 6 tonight, the National Weather Service said.The strong trade winds will be decreasing slowly today and through the weekend, but are continuing to generate rough, choppy conditions.
The forecast calls for surf 4 feet to 8 feet along east shores today, south shores to see surf 4 feet to 6 feet, north shore surf 2 feet to 4 feet and west shore surf 1 foot to 3 feet.
A moderate northwest swell is expected on Saturday, which will cause surf to be near high-surf advisory thresholds along north-facing shores. The swell will decrease slightly Sunday but will be reinforced by an even larger west-northwest swell on Monday. A small to moderate south swell arriving today will continue through next Monday.
