Swell Summary

The current north swell will gradually lower through early Monday. A new northwest swell arriving late Monday will likely produce a modest increase in surf along exposed north and west facing shores from Monday night and Tuesday through early Wednesday. A larger, reinforcing northwest swell may arrive late Wednesday, and persist through Friday. The current small, south-southwest swell will gradually lower through Monday. A new south swell arriving Tuesday may produce a slight increase in surf along south facing shores through mid-week. Expect modest, choppy surf along east facing shores through Thursday due to the moderate trade winds.
