Swell Summary

A small medium period north swell filled in yesterday and will gradually fade today. A series of small medium period swells from the north and northwest will trickle in through the rest of the week. A moderate medium period northwest (330 degrees) swell is expected to arrive on Sunday, building surf heights along north and west facing shores late this weekend into early next week. A series of small medium period south swells will keep surf along south facing shores from going flat through the week. Surf along east facing shores will remain on the small side in moderate trade wind flow, despite some small medium period swell moving into the region over the next couple of days from former tropical cyclone Narda.
