Swell Summary

Surf along north facing shores will remain small today, then trend up tonight through Monday over the western end of the state due to strong northerly winds following a front. This upward trend will continue for all north facing exposures Tuesday through the second half of the week due to a mix of short-period northerly wind waves and a medium-period north swell expected. Heights may near or reach the advisory level for north facing shores around the midweek time frame. Surf along east-facing shores, not exposed to northerly swells, will remain small each day due to the lack of trades locally and upstream. Surf along south-facing shores will remain around the seasonal average, with mainly a mix of short-period southeast and an occasional background south swell moving through. Uncertainty increases late in the week, with the potential for southerly winds to evolve, which could translate to a brief period of rough, short-period surf for south facing shores.
