Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores will steadily lower through Tuesday as the long-period south swell moves out. A mix of southeast and background southerly swells moving through will be enough to keep the surf from going flat through the rest of the week. Surf along east facing shores will remain up into midweek, then lower through the second half as the trades diminish. Surf along north facing shores will trend up late Thursday through Friday, then peak near the advisory level over the weekend as a moderate sized medium period north- northwest swell moves through.
