Swell Summary

A series of overlapping north-northwest swells are expected to push surf heights to near advisory levels on Monday and Tuesday. A gradual downward trend is expected to follow, but surf along north and west facing shores could remain elevated through the weekend. Surf along south-facing shores will remain up through Monday due to an out-of-season south swell. A mix of smaller southeast and south- southwest swells are expected to arrive midweek. Surf along east-facing shores will increase through midweek due to strengthening trade wind flow.
