Swell Summary
The northeast swell that peaked yesterday will be on the decline through Monday. A small north swell will reinforce an already established background north swell Tuesday and Wednesday. This will maintain elevated north-facing shore surf the next few days. Very small south southwest swell will keep south-facing shore surf from going completely flat the remainder of the week. East surf will stay slightly elevated through Monday as result of a fading northeast swell and a little north wrap. East-facing shore short period wind waves will pick up at mid week in response to strengthened trades.
