Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will remain up today due to a long- period easterly swell moving through from recent Hurricane Hilary in the far eastern Pacific. As this easterly swell eases through the second half of the week, surf will lower below the summertime average. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through next week with mainly a mix of small south-southeast and south swells moving through.
