Swell Summary

A northwest swell will decline tonight. A new, short period north northeast swell will build in Sunday pushing surf heights along north and east facing shores to near advisory by the end of the day. Surf heights may reach advisory levels along both shorelines Sunday night into Monday before the swell begins to fade through the rest of the week.

Along south-facing shores, small background pulses will keep surf heights above flat conditions through early next week. Surf along west facing shores will be mainly small through the week.
