Swell Summary
The current small, long-period southwest swell will continue to gradually decline through the middle of the week. A series of overlapping small south and southwest swells will maintain south shore surf, with a larger south swell expected early next week.
Surf along east-facing shores will steadily decline through Wednesday as the trade winds ease. Surf will then hold steady at slightly below seasonal averages along east facing shores through the weekend.
A series of small, long to medium period west to west-northwest swells generated by former Super Typhoon Bavi will be possible throughout the rest of the week. Otherwise, no significant north or northwest swells are expected.
