Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will remain up through early next week as small south-southwest swells move through. The next south southwest swell expected Sunday night through Tuesday. Surf along east facing shores will ease over the weekend due to the trades backing down locally and far upstream across the eastern Pacific. A slight increase is expected next week as the trades return to moderate to fresh levels. Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will see a slight increase out of the west-northwest Sunday night through Tuesday.
