Swell Summary

A small, long period south to south southwest swell will fill in today and peak late tonight into Wednesday, resulting in moderate surf that will approach High Surf Advisory levels along south- facing shores.

Surf along north and west facing shores is decreasing as an existing northwest swell subsides. This swell will transition to a more north northwest direction by late Monday before fading out through Tuesday. Some south swell energy may wrap around to west facing shores Tuesday, bumping surf heights up there once again.
