Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores saw a steady rise throughout the day today as a new long-period northwest swell filled in. This swell should peak tonight and will be reinforced by another northwest swell on Tuesday. This should keep moderate surf along north and west facing shores through the day Tuesday then trend downward by Wednesday.
A more significant northwest to north-northwest swell is expected late Wednesday night through the second half of the week with surf likely reaching warning levels late Thursday into Friday for north facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough through tonight, then begin to ease Tuesday through midweek as the trades diminish. The small trend will hold through the second half of the week, except for areas exposed to north-northwest swells later this week. Surf along south facing shores should gradually decline and return to background levels by midweek as the current small south-southwest swell dissipates.
