Swell Summary
Surf will be below seasonal average through much of the next week. Inconsistent pulses of south-southwest and south-southeast swell will produce surf just below seasonal average though the weekend, followed by mainly summertime background sized surf next week. A small, short- period north swell will fade tonight, with a tiny pulse of northwest swell possible late Sunday and Monday. As trade winds return, expect rough east shore to build Sunday and Monday but remain below seasonal average through the week.
