Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will plateau at small, choppy levels into Tuesday due to the locally strong trades, then decrease slightly as trades ease through the rest of the week. North and south shores exposed to the trade wind swell will see a tiny wrap through Tuesday. Small background swells from the south and southeast will keep the surf from going entirely flat for south facing shores. A small, medium-period northerly swell is expected to arrive Thursday night and hold through most of next weekend, which should give north facing shores a small boost in surf.
