Swell Summary
Surf along south-facing shores will gradually lower tonight as a lingering medium-period south swell fades. A fresh long-period south swell will arrive Tuesday, then build surf to near the seasonal average through midweek before slowly easing Thursday. A more significant long-period south-southwest swell is expected by next weekend. Expect surf to begin building locally Friday, then peak above/around the advisory level over the weekend.
Surf along exposed north- and west-facing shores will also continue to lower tonight as a small lingering north-northwest swell fades, trend up once again on Tuesday, peak Wednesday above- average, before lowering Thursday. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough through midweek, then gradually lower later in the week as the trades ease.
