Swell Summary
Moderate north and east-facing shore surf continues to be generated by a short period north-northeast (020-030 degree) swell which will gradually diminish tonight and Wednesday as it veers northeast. Shores better exposed to this NNE swell will experience decent wind wave chop generated by solid moderate trades.
Surf along west-facing shores will remain dominated by wrap around from the north-northeasterly swell and will gradually diminish in kind through the week. The next small, medium-period northwest and west-northwest swells arrive this weekend to bring a small bump in surf for west-facing shores. Along south-facing shores, expect continued impulses to sustain small surf through the week.
