Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores peaked but will hold through midweek as the north-northwest swell slowly moves through. Surf will slowly ease through the second half of the week. Surf along south facing shores will remain rough today due to a mix of short period wind waves and a tiny south- southwest swell. A larger south- southwest swell is expected to arrive Wednesday, and hold through the second half of the week. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the weekend due to light winds locally and upstream across the eastern Pacific.

Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the weekend.
