Swell Summary

A large, long-period northeast swell from a broad gale centered around 1600 nm northeast of the state has generated warning level surf for east facing shores this morning. Exposed north facing shores will also see an increase today as the northeast swell fills in to advisory levels. A small long period south swell will build into the region with a slight bump in south shore surf activity lasting into Tuesday.
