Swell Summary
A large, medium period north (340 to 360 degrees) swell will continue to gradually decline over the next couple of days as it shifts out of the north-northeast (360 to 020 degrees). Surf heights this morning will be just under the High Surf Advisory criteria and slowly decline through the day.
A moderate, long period northwest swell will begin to fill in late tonight and hold through Wednesday. Guidance hints for reinforcements of similar size to hold through the week from the northwest. East facing shores will remain choppy and may see some wrapping north swell through the first half of the week for exposed shorelines. Moderate, short period wind swell will stick around through the work week. South shores will remain seasonably small.
