Swell Summary
Surf along shores exposed to the mixed north and north northwesterly swells has continued to ease today and will continue this trend tonight, dipping below average from Sunday through Monday. An upward trend is expected Tuesday through the second half of the week due to a mix of short-period northerly wind waves and a medium- period north-northwest swell. Heights may near or reach advisory levels for north facing shores around the midweek time frame.
Surf along east-facing shores not exposed to northerly swells will remain small each day due to the lack of strong trades locally and upstream. Surf along south-facing shores will remain around the seasonal average, with mainly a mix of short-period southeast and an occasional background south swell moving through.
