Swell Summary
Tiny surf will persist along north facing shores through Friday, with a small pulse of northwest swell swell expected this weekend. A small long period south-southwest swell will peak today, and slowly ease Wednesday. Otherwise, small background level surf on south shores for the rest of the week. Choppy surf along east facing shores will decline over the next couple of days, then gradually increase as trade winds rebuild.
