Swell Summary
Surf along exposed N and W facing shores is steadily easing as the present NW (310-320) swell subsides through midweek. An upward trend is expected Thursday night through Saturday as a couple of NW (320-330) swells arrive and peak Friday night through Saturday. This may push surf back to advisory levels. A downward trend is then expected Sunday through early next week. Surf along E exposuresremains rough through the week due to strong easterly trades. Surf along S shores remains small, with mainly background S and SE swells.
