Swell Summary

A new moderate long-period northwest swell has begun to fill in across north and west facing shores. Surf is expected to peak this afternoon, then lower on Monday. A slightly larger northwest swell will arrive early Monday, peak Monday through Tuesday, then gradually decline through Thursday. Then, an even larger, long- period northwest swell is expected fill in for the end of the week. Surf along east facing shores will hold relatively steady today, then lower a bit Monday and Tuesday as the trades ease. South shore surf will remain very small through the middle of the week. An out of season long-period south swell may move through the islands at the end of the week, bringing a sizable boost to south shore surf.
