Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and east facing shores will remain rough due to a mix of locally-driven wind waves and a medium period northeast swell moving through the region. High surf advisories remain in effect for these areas. The northeast swell will slowly decline over the next few days as the trade winds begin to ease.

Surf along north and west facing shores will trend up today as a long period northwest swell arrives. This swell will peak later today, producing advisory level surf over exposed north and west facing shores, then ease Tuesday through the second half of the week. Models show the next significant northwest swell arriving late next weekend.
