Swell Summary
A moderate, short to medium-period north (360 to 010 degrees) swell will likely peak tonight into early Wednesday then slowly decline through the end of the work week. North shore surf will return to mostly flat levels over the weekend. Select east facing shores should see moderate surf from the previously mentioned north swell. The return of fresh to strong trades will allow for rough and choppy surf to gradually build back to near normal levels Thursday through the weekend.
A small long-period southwest swell will continue to produce small inconsistent surf along south facing shores through Wednesday. A slightly larger long-period south-southwest swell could give another small boost over the weekend.
