Swell Summary
Near summer average surf along south facing shores should hold through today before tapering off tomorrow. A series of small swells from the southwest, south and southeast directions will keep surf from becoming flat through the week. Otherwise, no significant swells are expected for south facing shores through the weekend.
Tiny surf is expected today into tomorrow along north facing shores, followed by minimal surf throughout the week. Expect rough and choppy surf along east facing shores to slowly build over the next few days as trades strengthen, then hold into the second half of the week before gradually easing into the weekend.
