The current moderate, medium period south swell will remain elevated this evening before declining on Monday. South shore surf will be tiny through much of the week with little southerly background energy reaching the islands. East- facing shores will see an increase in trade wind swell as strong northeast winds fill in Monday. Surf along east- facing shores will stay choppy as trades sustain through much of the week.
