Swell Summary

Strong trade winds will generate higher surf along east facing shores throughout the work week. Rough and choppy surf should peak above the summer average (5 ft) Friday into Saturday, then gradually ease early next week. Local wind swell may wrap into select north and south facing shores. A background south swell will continue to decline into the middle of the week. Otherwise, no significant swells are expected this week.
