Swell Summary

A new, medium-period northwest swell will peak today, producing high surf along exposed north and west facing shores. The swell will gradually become more northerly as it slowly diminishes Sunday into Monday. A large, long-period northwest swell is expected to arrive Tuesday and Wednesday, with peak surf heights approaching High Surf Warning levels along exposed shores. This long-lived swell will become more northerly later in the week. Increased trade winds will lead to elevated short-period surf along east facing shores Tuesday and Wednesday.
