Swell Summary

A large, medium-period north to northeast swell arriving from a broad gale centered around 1600 nm northeast of the state will support warning level surf for east facing shores and advisory level surf for north facing shores Monday through Tuesday. A smaller north-northwest medium period swell will also fill in today, helping to boost surf along west facing shores. A small long period south swell will build into the region with a slight bump in south shore surf activity lasting into Tuesday.
