Swell Summary

An upward trend is expected tonight into Tuesday along north and west facing shores as a fresh, medium- period northwest swell arrives. Heights could near advisory levels during the peak Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night, before easing through midweek. A larger, long-period northwest swell is expected Thursday, with heights potentially reaching warning-levels during the peak late Friday into Saturday. Surf along east-facing shores will remain small due to the lack of breezy trade winds. Surf along south-facing shores will see a modest increase on Tuesday due to a small long-period south-southwest swell.
