Swell Summary
The current moderate period south-southwest swell will slowly decline through Wednesday. Expect mainly background energy along south facing shores by Thursday. A tiny long-period south-southwest swell is possible this weekend. Otherwise expect mainly background energy through the middle of next week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy the next several days due to the fresh to locally strong trades. Surf along north facing shores will remain small with some background northwest energy moving in throughout the week and into the weekend.
