Swell Summary
North and west facing shores will remain flat through this afternoon. The next small bump will fill in this evening through the next few days as a small medium period northwest swell traverses area waters. The northwest swell will then fade out during the middle of the week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain tiny through the beginning of the week as local winds weaken slightly. Surf then trends up toward the summer average by the middle of the week as trades restrengthen.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small into Monday, with mainly background southerly swells moving through. This will be followed by a modest bump mid-week as medium-sized, long-period energy reaches the area Monday, holds Tuesday then diminish through mid week.
