Swell Summary

Moderate to strong trade winds is expected to gradually diminish tonight through Saturday, coming down into the moderate range where it will continue through Tuesday. With this said, the short period trade wind swell will continue slightly elevated through Saturday before lowering about a foot each day through Monday. A long period south swell will maintain surf near July average through Saturday, then subside through early next week. Otherwise, surf will be small over the remaining shores. No other significant swells are expected.
