Swell Summary
The current small long period south-southwest swell will hold tonight and then gradually decline on Monday. However, a tiny long-period reinforcement will arrive late Monday followed by another long-period south-southwest swell Wednesday into Thursday. This mid-week swell will bring another boost to south shore surf.
East shore surf will gradually decline through mid-week as the trades weaken slightly. Surf along north facing shores will remain tiny through the next several days. Gale force winds associated with a surface low moving near the Aleutians this weekend are expected to send a small, medium period north-northwest swell towards the islands during the latter half of the week.
