Swell Summary

A small, short-period north-northeast swell will steadily decline tonight through the day. Some of this swell will wrap into exposed eastern shores, but otherwise, east shore surf will be below May average as the nearby trade wind flow will be weaker than normal into Saturday. A small northwest swell is possible early next week, while returning strong trade winds will increase east shore surf.

A mix of small south-southwest and south-southeast swell should produce inconsistent surf near the seasonal average through the weekend. Expect south shore surf to be at summertime background heights from Monday through the middle of next week.
