Swell Summary
Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and elevated through the forecast period. Strengthening trades, coinciding with a large, short period northeast (040 degrees) swell early Tuesday through Wednesday. The trade wind and northeast swell combo will also wrap into exposed north-facing shores.
A small, medium-period northwest swell will hold through the day today, then decline through mid-week. No significant northwest swells are expected thereafter, until a small, long-period northwest swell is slated to arrive late Friday.
Small mainly background south swell energy is expected through middle of next week. A small, long-period south swell could boost south shore surf from Thursday night through Friday.
