Swell Summary

As southerly winds continue to decline today, surf along south- facing shores will return smoother, less choppy conditions. Additionally, the medium-period south swell will gradually decline through the weekend. By Tuesday, however, a new south swell will arrive, once again providing a boost to surf along south facing shores.

A moderate, short to medium-period northwest swell generated by the gale force low to the northwest will bring a boost to surf along north and west facing shores today. Another northwest reinforcement on Sunday will maintain this small to moderate surf through the weekend, followed by a decline in northwest swell energy next week.

Surf along east facing shores remains below seasonal average with lighter than average trade winds near and upstream of the islands forecast through next week.
