Swell Summary

The current medium to long period northwest swell that has elevated surf along north-facing shores today will continue to build and bring surf to near advisory levels along north and exposed west-facing shores Tuesday, then will gradually decline. An additional small north-northeast reinforcement should arrive by mid-week.

Overlapping south-southwest swells will keep surf along south-facing shores above average through Tuesday. A slightly larger south swell may bring an additional bump to the surf Thursday and Friday.

Surf along most east-facing shores will be small through the first half of the week, but areas exposed to wrapping northerly swells will experience periods of moderate surf. East-facing shores should also see a bump in surf if the north-northeast swell materializes during the latter half of this week.
