Swell Summary

Southwest swell energy combined with a lingering southeast trade wind swell will maintain small surf along south facing shores early this week. A small north-northwest swell will likely cause a slight bump in surf along exposed north and west facing shores through early Monday. In addition, a small north swell may arrive around Tuesday, followed by a modest north-northeast swell from Thursday into Friday. The choppy surf nay lower slightly along east facing shores from later today into Tuesday due to a slight weakening of the trade winds.
