Swell Summary

Low amplitude southerly well maintains surf near seasonal average along south facing shores through the week. A small, long period southerly swell then arrives this weekend bringing a small bump to exposed shorelines.

Strong northwesterlies around low pressure evolving to the NE of the islands will direct a moderate N-NNE fresh swell toward area waters late Wednesday night. This swell peaks on Thursday and then subsides during the remainder of the week. This is followed by a small, medium period NW swell that will maintain elevated surf along N and W facing shores as it peaks Saturday night into Sunday. Along E facing shores, surf further diminishes with the loss of trade winds.
