Swell Summary
A moderate long period north-northwest swell is expected to arrive by Thursday, producing surf above the seasonal average (6 feet for the month of May), then slowly decline over the weekend.
A bump up in south-southwest swell energy will arrive on Wednesday, peak Thursday producing moderate surf, and then slowly fade through the weekend. However, a mix of reinforcing south-southwest swell and new south-southeast swell energy will arrive this weekend and should help maintain surf near or above the summer average (5 feet). Then another pulse of south-southwest swell energy will arrive early next week.
Surf will remain on the smaller side for east-facing shores through Tuesday. Trade winds will return Wednesday and strengthen through the rest of the week, bringing rough and choppy surf through the weekend.
