Swell Summary

A north swell is expected to continue through the week with a medium-period reinforcement Tuesday, followed by a larger swell likely to trigger a High Surf Advisory for north and east facing shores Friday into Saturday. Otherwise, surf along the east- facing shores not exposed to northerly swells will remain small each day.

Surf along south-facing shores will remain small due to background south swells. Uncertainty increases during the second half of the week which could translate to a brief period of rough, short-period surf as the low develops and passes north of the area.
