Swell Summary

Surf along north-facing shores will remain tiny to small through the weekend as a short-period northeast swell fades and even as a few small northwest/west-northwest pulses fill in. Then by Monday night through Wednesday, a moderate medium-period west-northwest (310 degree) swell will fill in and increase surf to just below advisory levels.

Along south facing shores, expect minor pulses from the South Pacific to provide periods of small surf through the weekend until a larger long-period south swell fills in Monday and lasts through at least midweek. In addition, strengthening southerly winds may lead to increasingly choppy conditions by midweek.

Surf along east-facing shores will gradually decline into the evening as the short-period northeast swell fades. Moderate trades that will begin to veer on Monday will maintain small surf through early next week.
