Swell Summary

Surf along north facing shores will remain small today, then trend up tonight into Monday as a long-period, north-northwest swell arrives. This source should peak Tuesday through Wednesday before lowering into Thursday. A new, northwest swell is forecast to arrive Thursday, peak late Friday, then ease by the end of the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough through the first half of the week due to the strong trades. Larger surf is expected for east facing shores exposed to north-northeast swell that is expected to move through late Monday through Wednesday.
