Swell Summary

A small, short-period, NW swell slowly diminishes into the weekend. A small, medium-period, S swell will boost surf along S shores through late week and subside over the weekend. Surf along E shores remains below the seasonal average as trades remain light. Increasing trades by week's end then brings a slight bump to surf.
