Swell Summary
A new moderate northwest swell will build and peak today before slowly declining Wednesday. A moderate to large, short- lived, medium period north- northwest swell will build mainly over the western end of the state today too. Moderate to large choppy surf is expected through the end of the week but forecast confidence decreases further out in time due to the potential for the next surface low developing.
East facing shores exposed to the north swell may see an uptick in surf through the week. South facing shores will remain choppy due to the strong southwest winds Tuesday before decreasing on Wednesday.
