Swell Summary
A series of overlapping small, medium to long period northwest swells will fill in through Friday, keeping surf heights steady. A moderate, long period northwest swell expected this weekend into early next week could bring advisory level surf to north and west facing shores. A series of medium to long period background south swells this week will maintain small surf along south facing shores. Long range models suggest the potential for surf to pick up over the weekend and persist through much of next week as a series of small long period south swells move through, boosting surf near to above average. Surf along east facing shores will remain small and choppy today due to weaker than normal local trade winds. Surf will then gradually ease to tiny to nearly flat Wednesday into the weekend and persist through early next week.
