Swell Summary

The current small medium-period south-southwest (190-200 degrees) swell will hold surf along south-facing shores below the summer average through the evening. A small to moderate, long-period southwest swell (220 degrees) will fill in tonight through Monday, which will boost surf through early next week.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the forecast period as fresh to strong trades hold. A small, long- period west-northwest (280 to 290 degrees) swell will arrive midweek, sourced from Typhoon Bavi in the far western Pacific. No significant north or northwest swells are expected, so surf along north-facing shores is expected to remain flat to tiny.
