Swell Summary
The fading south swell will keep surf from going flat today along south facing shores. A new small south- southwest swell is expected to build late tonight, peak late Friday, and hold through Saturday near the summertime average before slowly easing Sunday.
A few tiny pulses from the north-northwest are expected today and will likely keep the surf from going completely flat along north facing shores through the weekend. Short-period wind waves generated by the trade winds will gradually decline over the next several days as the trades ease.
