Swell Summary
A small, relatively short-period NW swell will gradually diminish tonight, while a longer-period NW swell slowly builds through Wednesday. Peak surf heights may approach High Surf Advisory heights along exposed N and W facing shores by late Wednesday.
High surf is expected Thursday and Friday along N facing shores as mixed-period NNW-N swell increases, leading to jumbled surf as it overlaps with the diminishing longer period NW swell. This swell will slowly decline into next weekend. A short-period NE swell will build overnight, peak Wednesday, and diminish Thursday. A new NW swell is possible next Monday, otherwise no other significant swells are expected.
