Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny today, before a small, long period south swell is expected to fill in Sunday and peak Monday slightly above the summer time average before gradually declining during the middle of next week.

Strengthening trade winds will help to boost wind wave driven choppy surf heights by Sunday. A small to moderate, long period easterly swell from Hurricane Jova in the East Pacific could push up surf along east facing shores early next week. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) for east facing shores is not expected at this time. No other significant swells are expected.
