Swell Summary

The current south swell will maintain surf heights near or above the summer average along south facing shores into Monday. This south swell will gradually subside from Monday night through Wednesday, returning surf along south facing shores to below normal summertime heights by mid-week. The strengthening trade winds will result in slightly elevated, rough surf along east facing shores through the first half of the new week. Besides some localized wrap of trade wind swell, surf along most north facing shores will remain nearly flat through mid-week.
