A moderate easterly breeze (10 to 15 knots) remained over the American Samoa coastal waters last night and throughout the morning. Seas fell below the Small Craft Advisory levels but seas remained fairly choppy with elevated swell to keep seas around 7 feet before slowly easing late this morning and early afternoon. However, winds continue decreasing to a gentle easterly breeze for this evening and Wednesday (5 to 10 knots) and becoming light and variable on Thursday and Friday. Since we have decreasing winds and weakening swell, seas are to be ideal for Wednesday through Friday as waves are to subside to around 4 to 5 feet. As a ridge of high pressure moves over the region by Friday evening, expect similar conditions for the weekend. && .PPG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE && $$ LaPlante
