Swell Summary
Background energy from the south-southwest swells (200 degrees) will continue to provide small surf for south facing shores today. A moderate south swell with long period forerunners will fill in tonight and build through Thursday, then peak Friday into Saturday morning before slowly declining over the weekend. Surf at the peak of the swell looks to be just below High Surf Advisory criteria of 10 feet.
Surf along east facing shores will slowly decline by the end of the week as trade winds decline. Tiny background swell energy from the west- northwest will continue to linger through today. In the long range, a small out of season north- northwest swell is possible around Monday of next week.
