Swell Summary

No significant swells are expected through this weekend. A mix of small south and southwest swells will produce small, background surf along south facing shores into this weekend. A small, long-period southwest swell arriving Sunday may produce a bump in surf heights along south facing shores early next week. The trade winds will maintain modest, choppy surf along east facing shores through this weekend.
