Swell Summary

Long period energy out of the S to SW fills in during the latter half of the week supporting building surf for S shores. Surf is initially small through Wednesday but will trend upward toward the High Surf Advisory threshold by this weekend. Surf along E shores will modestly increase in response to building trades and a brief medium period E swell emanating from former TC Norbert. N shores stay flat to tiny.
