Swell Summary
Offshore buoys show that the moderate-period S swell of the past couple days is slowly trending down, but near shore buoys indicate that elevated surf will remain in place today, with a slow trend down thereafter. Another, similarly-sized SSW swell appears poised to arrive by next weekend.
A small, short-period NNW swell will build today, peak Monday, and diminish Tuesday. Another small NNW swell may arrive later in the week. Surf along E facing shores will remain relatively small while trending up slightly the next couple of days due to increased trades. Small, long- period E swells from increased E Pacific tropical cyclone activity may arrive from Wednesday onward.
