Swell Summary
Small surf along exposed north and west facing shores will continue to lower through Wednesday as a northwest swell fades. A medium period north-northwest swell will build Thursday and will push surf near High Surf Advisory levels during the peak Thursday night and early Friday. This swell will steadily decline and shift out of the north later Friday and the weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will trend down tonight as trades ease. East shore surf will be small through at least Saturday and will likely rise to around April average on Sunday.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small through most of the week, with mainly overlapping background south swells moving through. A larger pulse of south-southwest swell may arrive Tuesday.
