Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores should see a modest increase over the next few days due to a pair of south and south-southeast swells. A long-period south swell should fill in on Monday and peak on Tuesday near the summer average. As the long-period south swell begins to decline, there should be some reinforcing energy from the south-southeast Tuesday or Wednesday, which should help maintain surf heights through the middle of the week. Surf should gradually decline Thursday into Friday, but a small long-period southwest swell should fill in next weekend.

Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain choppy with surf heights below average due to the lack of strong trades locally and upstream of the state. A sight increase is expected towards the middle of the week as the trades strengthen a notch. A tiny northwest swell could produce some rideable surf along north facing shores Monday into Tuesday.
