Swell Summary

No significant swells are expected through this weekend. Small, medium-period south and southwest swells will produce small surf along south facing shores this morning. Surf will eventually return to tiny background levels heading into the weekend. Forerunners from a small, long-period southwest swell arriving late Sunday will produce a bump in surf along south facing shores early next week. The breezy trade winds will maintain modest, choppy surf along east facing shores through early next week.
