Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will steadily decline today before trending back up to advisory levels late tonight into Thursday as a fresh, long-period northwest swell arrives.
Surf along east facing shores will remain elevated due to a combination of the southeasterly winds locally and the upstream trade wind belt expanding with fresh to strong breezes. Background long period south swells will keep surf from going completely flat.
