Swell Summary
Rough conditions will continue along north and east facing shores due to breezy northeast winds and a mix of north to northeast wind and ground swell driving surf well above normal for east facing shores. The trend will persist through early next week as a large northeast swell arrives Monday, which could drive east facing shores to the warning level. A downward trend is then expected Tuesday through midweek. A small, long-period southwest swell is expected to fill in Monday through Tuesday, then persist through midweek. A long-period northwest swell will lead to the surf trending upward along exposed north and west facing shores late next week.
