Swell Summary
Returning trade winds will produce moderate east shore surf Sunday into early next week. Generally small surf will prevail on other shores. Small background swells from the south and southeast will keep the surf from going entirely flat for south facing shores over the next few days. A reinforcing small long period south swell could arrive by Thursday morning. Small northwest swell is expected to slowly diminish during the weekend returning to typical summertime flat conditions.
