The current south swell will continue a slow decline over the next day or so. South shore surf will drop below seasonal average Monday and will remain relatively small through much of the week. A moderate south-southwest swell is expected next weekend.

Rough trade wind swell will produce east shore surf just above seasonal average through Tuesday, then decline later in the week as trade winds decrease.
