Swell Summary

The medium-period S swell will trend lower today. Surf should return to background levels by Thursday along south facing shores. A small, longer period SSW swell should fill in on Friday and peak over the weekend with surf heights near or slightly above the summer average.

A small, short-period NNW swell will decline tonight into Tuesday night. Another small, short-period NNW swell may arrive around Thursday. Short-period wind waves will support small to moderate surf along E facing shores through Wednesday. Small, long-period E swells from increased E Pacific tropical cyclone activity may arrive (low confidence) from Wednesday onward, leading to a subtle increase in surf heights.
