Swell Summary

The current south-southwest (190-210 degree) swell will slowly decrease through Thursday. Another long period south-southwest (200-220 degree) swell will arrive by Saturday with small surf expected along south facing shores through the weekend and then slowly decreasing early next week.

Very small surf will continue along north and west facing shores through next week Tuesday. A small medium period northwest (320 degree) swell will build in by the middle of next week, associated with the remnants of Typhoon Mawar, producing fun sized waves along north and west facing shores.
