Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will rise through the day, peak Monday, then slowly lower Tuesday through midweek as a moderate west-northwest swell moves through. Surf along south facing shores will remain small each day through the week with mainly background south-southwest and south-southeast swells moving through. An upward trend for south facing shores is possible next weekend as a long-period south-southeast swell arrives. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the first half of the week, then rise through the second half as the strong trades return.
