SWELL/WEATHER SUMMARY 

Swell size from today (Sunday) will continue to slowly come down through next week. We’ll see a slight reinforcing bump of new SSW swell on Monday to keep the surf from fading too quickly, with swell mainly in the 6-8’ range. Smaller surf takes over Tuesday and the fading trend will prevail through the middle to second half of the week. 

Very light NE/ENE wind will prevail Mon/Tue and we may see times of variable onshore flow each day, although it will be very light. SE/ESE trades look likely to rebuild on Wednesday and then remain at moderate levels out of the ESE/E for the end of the week and waiting period.
