Swell Summary

No significant swells are expected over the next seven days with only small surf heights forecast into early next week. Surf along east facing shores will remain small and choppy, driven by trade wind wave energy. A small long period south-southwest background swell will move into the islands from Sunday through Tuesday with only a small increase in the surf heights along south facing shores.
