A medium-period south swell will continue to decline today as well. A new south swell arrives on Tuesday, once again providing a boost to surf along south facing shores through mid week before gradually subsiding into the weekend.

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