Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west-facing shores will gradually ease into Monday as the current northwest swell fades. By Tuesday, surf will begin to rise, with a significant upward trend anticipated through the second half of the week due to a series of northwest swells. Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough today, but will gradually ease late tonight through much of next week as the trade winds diminish. Surf along south-facing shores will remain near seasonal averages, influenced by a mix of short-period southeast swells and occasional longer-period background south-southwest swells. Peak monthly tides combined with water levels running higher than predicted could lead to minor coastal flooding issues for vulnerable low-lying coastal areas. The best chance for these impacts will occur during the early morning high tides between midnight and daybreak through the early Monday.
