Swell Summary
The ongoing small south swell will further decline into the evening with a small southeastern pulse lingering through tonight. A moderate size, longer period more due south swell will arrive by Monday morning and fill in through the day, slowly falling off through the middle of the week. Seasonally flat to very small north-facing shore surf is expected through early next week. There is a possibility of a mid week arrival of a small, long period northwest swell originating from Typhoon Ampil currently located a few hundred miles east of northern Japan. East shore surf will remain somewhat elevated the next few days in response to stronger trades.
