Swell Summary
The current south swell will gradually lower, while a short-period southeast swell is expected to maintain surf near the seasonal average along exposed south facing shores into this weekend. Forerunners from a new long-period south swell are forecast to arrive next Tuesday. The light to moderate trade winds will likely keep surf below the seasonal average along east facing shores through this weekend. A short-period north swell may produce a slight bump in surf along north facing shores this weekend. A small northwest swell is expected to arrive next Monday, and continue through Tuesday.
