Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will remain small through Tuesday, with a tiny to small long-period reinforcement will expected late tonight. A long-period south-southwest swell is expected Wednesday into Thursday and 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 for 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 for the latter half of the week.
