Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores should see a small boost over the next few days due to a pair of south and south-southeast swells. A long-period south swell should peak today near summer averages. A reinforcing swell from the south- southeast should fill in later today into Wednesday. This should maintain surf heights through the middle of the week. Surf should gradually decline Thursday into Friday, but another small increase is expected into the weekend as a new long-period southwest swell arrives. Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain rough and choppy with surf heights getting a slight increase as the trades strengthen. Surf along north facing shores will continue to decline through Wednesday.
