Easterly trades continue to ease on Sunday, with light ENE/E flow early next week.

SWELL/WEATHER SUMMARY 

There is no major change from our previous forecasts. The XL swell that we saw today (Saturday) will be fading through the next few days. Surf will be down quite a bit on Sunday from today’s peak, but will still be quite solid (especially in the morning). 

The overall swell trend will be a slow decreasing one through early next week. Monday will get a reinforcing pulse of SSW swell to keep the surf in the 8’ range, with smaller 6’ swell expected for Tuesday. Smaller, leftover swell will prevail for the middle to second half of next week and the end of the waiting period.   

Trades will back off further on Sunday and look light out of the NE/ENE for early next week. Scattered showers remain a possibility for the next few days. Stay tuned.
