Swell Summary
A moderate northwest swell will continue to build this evening and peak tonight into early Tuesday, producing surf above seasonal average along north and west facing shores. This swell will slowly decline through Wednesday. A larger northwest swell arriving on Wednesday could produce surf near the High Surf Advisory level Thursday, then lower Friday into next weekend.
A south swell will gradually decrease tonight into Tuesday, with small pulses keeping surf from going flat for the latter half of the week.
