Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will slowly decline today and tonight. A series of overlapping, long-period south swells will then move through the islands Tuesday into the weekend. This will be a long lived south shore event, with surf holding well above the summertime average Wednesday through the weekend.

A small, long-period northwest swell will peak today, then slowly decline Tuesday, giving north shore surf a slight boost. A series of reinforcing northwest swells will keep some small to moderate sized surf moving into north facing shores Wednesday through the weekend.
