Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will rise through the day, peak Monday, then slowly lower Tuesday through midweek as a moderate west-northwest swell moves through.

An upward trend for south facing shores is possible next weekend as a long-period south-southeast swell arrives.
