Swell Summary

An incoming northwest swell (310 degrees) will bring surf near advisory levels later today for north and west facing shores, and likely to low-end advisory level tonight and Monday. Overlapping north swells (340 to 040 degrees) with moderate to short periods will move through during the first half of the week, helping to keep surf elevated along north facing shores. East shore surf will become increasingly rough as the local wind swell picks up over the next couple of days, and mixes with some of the wrap from the north swells but is expected remain below advisory levels.
