Swell Summary
Surf along east facing shores will become rough later today through the second half of the week as the trades become strong. Expect some groundswell mixed in for the upcoming weekend from Tropical Storm Irwin tracking westward across the eastern Pacific. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend as overlapping background level long-period southerly pulses move through. A larger south swell is possible early next week. Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will trend up again this weekend as a small west- northwest swell arrives.
