Surf along south facing shores will remain below summer average as a small medium period south swell slowly fades through Tuesday. An overlapping small, long period south southwest swell will fill in tonight through Tuesday that should keep surf below the summer average. A slightly larger long period south swell will fill in Wednesday and peak Thursday into Friday. This swell could push surf towards advisory thresholds before slowly fading over the weekend.

Tiny to near flat surf conditions are expected for north facing shores.
