Swell Summary
Reinforcing, overlapping south swells will keep surf along south facing shores at advisory levels through at least tonight, but could linger into Monday morning. The High Surf Advisory for south facing shores has been extended through tonight. South shore surf is expected to slowly decline from Monday through the middle of the week as the south swell gradually fades. A very small, long-period south swell will arrive Thursday and linger through the end of the week. The current very small northwest swell will gradually ease through Monday, with north shore surf going nearly flat Tuesday through the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain well below average through Monday. An upward trend is expected Tuesday through the weekend as trade winds strengthen over and upstream of the islands.
