Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will remain up through Tuesday due to a fresh, long-period south-southwest swell filling in this morning. By mid-week, mainly background energy is expected to return. An upward trend is possible next weekend due to a small southeast swell. Surf along north facing shores will trend up slightly as a small north swell arrives. Expect this trend to continue through the second half of the week as similar north-northeast swell arrives. Surf along east facing shores will remain small and rough into Tuesday, then potentially trending up around midweek as the trades pick up.
