Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will remain up today, then fade as a small south-southwest swell moves out. Later this week and upcoming weekend, an upward trend is expected as another small long- period southwest swell arrives. Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will remain small this morning, then return to summertime levels later today through midweek as a small north-northwest swell eases. Surf along east facing shores will gradually trend up Wednesday through the second half of the week as the trades become strong. Expect some groundswell mixed in for the upcoming weekend from Tropical Storm Irwin tracking westward across the eastern Pacific.
