Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores will continue to slowly decline as the south swell fades today. For the rest of the week, expect only background small, medium to long period, south to southeast swell energy moving through the local waters. North shore surf is expected to be small through the week, coming from small, mainly medium-period, northwest swells. Surf along east shores will become increasingly rough and choppy from Wednesday onward as the trade winds strengthen across the state.
