Swell Summary

The current moderate northwest (320-330 degree) swell will steadily decline tonight with small surf expected along all shorelines over the next few days. A series of small north (350-010 degree) swells will begin to arrive Thursday and persist through early next week.

South-facing shores should remain small but some background long- period south-southwest swells are expected this week especially around Thursday or Friday. East facing shores will remain small due to the lack of strong trades. With the small north swells filling in beginning Thursday, select east facing shores should see a small increase Thursday into next week.
