Swell Summary

Strong trade winds will keep east shore surf elevated and well above normal through early next week. Surf will lower to near or below normal levels around the middle of next week as the trades back off. Surf along north and west facing shores will remain small and well below normal through the weekend. A moderate size northwest and a moderate size north swell will give surf a boost along north and west facing shores Monday through Wednesday with a decline expected on Thursday. A new very large northwest swell could move in next Friday, bringing warning level surf to north and west facing shores. Surf along south facing shores will remain small with only background south swell energy for the next week.
