Swell Summary
A series of small northwest and north swells will give surf a small bump along north and west facing shores through Wednesday. The potential for a new large northwest swell could bring near warning level surf to north and west facing shores late this week although forecast intensity confidence remains low.
Strong trade winds will keep east shore surf slightly elevated through Tuesday. Surf along east facing shores will lower to near or below normal levels around the middle of next week as the trades back off. Surf along south facing shores will remain small with only background south swell energy through the middle of the week.
