Swell Summary

A small short period southeast swell will linger through the weekend. A series of small, mid to long period south swells will move across the area through Monday night with a slightly larger long period south swell expected during the Tuesday through Thursday time period. A slightly larger short period north swell is expected today and tomorrow. A longer period northwest swell will then fill in late Monday through Tuesday then lower gradually Wednesday and Thursday with the period becoming rather short. Short period choppy surf will remain rather small through the forecast period as trade winds over and upwind of the state remain on the lighter side.
