Swell Summary
Surf along north-facing shores will gradually decline as a small, medium-period north swell wanes through Tuesday. Another small northwest swell is possible Thursday, with potential for a bigger long-period northwest swell next weekend.
Meanwhile, a small long-period south swell will slowly decline through tonight, but a small, medium- to long-period reinforcement will arrive on Tuesday and keep surf mostly steady along south-facing shores. South shore surf will then gradually decline through the rest of week. Additionally, surf will remain elevated along east facing shores over the next couple of days due to the combination of small long-period east swell generated by former major Hurricane Kristy and short-period wind waves from the locally strong trades.
