Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will remain small through early next week, with mainly overlapping small medium- to long-period northwest swells moving through. An upward trend is possible along north facing shores beginning Tuesday as a potential moderate sized, short- to medium-period north swell arrives. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough into Saturday, then steadily trend down as the trade winds ease. Similar to north facing shores, an upward trend in the surf is possible by midweek.
