Swell Summary

Small background energy from the south-southwest swells will continue along south facing shores throughout the first half of this week. A moderate south swell, which should fill in on Thursday, peak Friday and slowly decline over the weekend.

Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy and slowly ease over the next few days as the trade winds ease. Tiny background swell energy from the west-northwest is possible later today into Wednesday due to a Typhoon tracking near Taiwan last week.
