In Swift 4.2 and later you can cobble together allSatisfy and zip with some sequence slicing:

extension Array where Element: Comparable {
    func isAscending() -> Bool {
        return zip(self, self.dropFirst()).allSatisfy(<=)
    }

    func isDescending() -> Bool {
        return zip(self, self.dropFirst()).allSatisfy(>=)
    }
}
