Swell Summary
Elevated surf will continue along north facing shores with a mix of a short- to medium-period north swell, and a small medium- period northwest swell. These swells will peak this afternoon, then gradually decline through Thursday. Reinforcing small short- to medium-period north-northwest swells are expected through the week which will keep surf elevated.
Surf along south facing shores will continue to slowly subside this evening as the current south swell fades. Background medium- to long-period energy will hold through the week before a small to moderate long-period south-southwest swell fills in over the weekend.
Below average surf is expected to continue along east facing shores through the week.
