Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy each day due to the persistent fresh onshore breezes. Surf along south facing shores will trend up Monday, then peak Tuesday through Wednesday as a long-period southwest swell arrives. A return to background summer level surf for south facing shores is expected later in the weekend through next weekend. In addition to the surf, expect minor flooding over areas of the beach that typically remain dry through the afternoon periods each day through Wednesday due to our typical peak annual high tides. See the latest Coastal Flood Statement for more details.
