Surfline, official forecasters for the Billabong Pro Tahiti, are calling for a slow fading trend of swell over the next couple days, although there will be a slight reinforcing SSW swell this afternoon to keep the surf from fading too quickly. Light NE/ENE wind and clean conditions prevail Mon/Tue before easterly trades likely rebuild for the second half of the week.
