Swell Summary

Surf is expected to remain below the seasonal average along most south facing through mid-week due to a combination of small south and southeast swells. The forerunners from a new long-period south swell may spread across the area starting Friday night, which might be followed by larger surf along south facing shores next weekend. Below normal surf heights will likely persist along east facing shores through mid-week due to the weakening trade winds. There are hints of very small, short-period north-northwest or north-northeast swells early this week, but these are unlikely to change the nearly flat conditions along most north facing shores.
