Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores will remain below summer average through tonight as a small medium period south swell slowly fades and a small, long period south southwest swell fills in. A slightly larger, long period south swell will fill in Wednesday and peak Thursday into Friday. This swell could push surf towards advisory thresholds before slowly fading over the weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy due to persistent trade wind swell.
Surf along north facing shores will remain tiny to flat.
