Swell Summary
A small to moderate, medium-period north-northwest swell (340-350 degree) is expected to arrive tonight, peak Monday then slowly fade into Wednesday, providing a boost in surf for north and some exposed west facing shores. In the long range, a series of small, long-period northwest (310-330 degree) swells look to keep surf from going flat for north and west facing shores Tuesday through much of next week.
Expect choppy surf along east facing shores through early next week. East shore surf may pick up a notch or two by midweek as wind speeds increase locally and upstream. A small boost in south shore surf may start as early as Monday night as series of small, long-period south swells move through the state through the upcoming week.
