Swell Summary
A series of large west to west-northwest (280-310 deg) swells is expected this week, which will keep exposed beaches under a High Surf Advisory through at least midweek. The first and largest west swell has peaked and will continue to slowly ease today. The next westerly pulse is expected to fill in tonight through Tuesday, then again Wednesday night through Thursday. The westerly component will allow some wrap into southern exposures and, combined with increasing south- southwest winds, support increasing surf for south facing shores. In addition to the dominant westerly swells, a small northerly swell has filled in overnight and will peak today before moving out tonight.
