Swell Summary

Surf along north and west facing shores will continue to lower today as the swell that peaked over the weekend moves out. Surf may trend back up Sunday as a small, medium-period northwest swell arrives. This will hold into Monday, then drop off by Tuesday. Surf along east facing shores will trend up through the second half of the week and upcoming weekend as the trades increase locally and upstream of the state. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through Friday, but notch up slightly over the weekend as a new, long- period south swell arrives. Expect this trend to hold next week, with another south swell potentially arriving Tuesday and holding through midweek.
