Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will rise Sunday morning through early next week, with a peak centered on Monday, as a moderate west-northwest swell arrives and moves through. The west-northwest swell will linger Tuesday, then lower through midweek. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the weekend, then ease Monday through Tuesday as the trades weaken. A rising trend will follow through the second half of the week as the trades strengthen. Surf along south facing shores will remain small each day through next week with mainly background south-southwest and south-southeast swells moving through. An upward trend for south facing shores is possible next weekend.
