Swell Summary




The current large, long-period northwest swell will produce dangerously large breaking waves along exposed north and west facing shores into early Tuesday. This swell is expected to gradually lower late Tuesday, and then shift from a more northerly direction by mid- week. A small south-southwest swell may arrive late tonight and Tuesday, and then linger for a day or two. Surf along east facing shores will remain small this week due to the lack of strong trade winds locally and upstream of the state.
