Swell Summary

Surf along north and west facing shores will trend up today as a northwest swell builds. Surf may flirt with low end advisory levels along north facing shores of the smaller islands late today and tonight, but should hold just below the advisory threshold of 15 feet. Surf along east facing shores will remain very small through the week. Small, medium to long period south swells will keep some small surf rolling into south facing shores through the week.
