Swell Summary
The latest pulse of medium-period NE swell is slowly dropping. Surf will remain below High Surf Advisory levels for at least the next several days. However, the combination of strengthening trades and a small long-period E swell from Tropical Cyclone Kristy should produce elevated surf along E facing shores for most of the new week. A small to moderate medium-period N swell should arrive Sunday and peak on Monday, then gradually decline. A new long- period S swell is expected to slowly decline the next couple of days. A long period NW swell may arrive by Friday.
