Swell Summary
Large surf associated with a long-period south-southwest swell will maintain through the weekend for exposed south-facing shores. The swell will gradually begin to ease on Monday at the same time that long-period forerunners from the next south-southwest swell are expected to arrive. Heights may briefly dip below the advisory level, but as the next swell fills in, surf will likely return to advisory levels Tuesday through midweek as it peaks. A gradual downward trend is then expected through the second half of next week.
Surf along north-facing shores will remain small through Monday, then potentially trend up as a small north swell arrives by midweek. Expect surf along east-facing shores to continue to ease for Sunday and Monday when trade winds are at their weakest. Then, a slight increase is likely beginning Tuesday due to a combination of strengthening trades and a wrapping north swell.
