Swell Summary

A small, medium-period N swell will build tonight, persist into Monday, then gradually decline while another small N swell arrives on Tuesday. A small NW swell is possible Thursday, with potential for a bigger, long-period NW swell next weekend. A small long- period S swell will slowly decline through midweek.

Surf will remain somewhat elevated along E facing shores the next couple of days – due to the combination of small long-period E swells from former hurricane Kristy, and increasing short-period waves as trade winds build.
