A series of small, mid to long period south swells will move across the area through Monday night with a slightly larger long period south swell expected during the Tuesday through Thursday time period. A slightly larger short period north swell is expected today and tomorrow. A longer period northwest swell will then fill in late Monday through Tuesday then lower gradually Wednesday and Thursday with the period becoming rather short.
