Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores will remain up through the week as small, overlapping, long-period swells from the southern Pacific roll through. The next in the series should arrive by Wednesday, then again late in the week going into the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy due to the onshore trades. Surf along north facing shores will trend down into midweek to near flat levels as the current northwest swell moves out. Expect the summer- like conditions to hold through the weekend for northern exposures.
