Swell Summary

Surf along south-facing shores continues to ease this morning, and that trend will persist through midweek. Expect mainly background south to south-southwest pulses moving through for the rest of the week. A slight upward trend is possible by the end of the weekend as a small, long-period south swell arrives. Surf along east-facing shores will hold around average today, then gradually trend up through the second half of the week due as the trades strengthen. Surf along north-facing shores will return to the typical summertime (flat) levels later today through midweek as a small northwest swell moves out.
