Swell Summary

As the current north swell continues to gradually lower through Monday, a moderate, short-to medium-period north to north-northeast swell should arrive Monday night, then peak Tuesday night. Select exposures along east-facing shores should also see some moderate surf from the north to north-northeast swell.

A small south-southeast swell that peaked Friday should continue to produce some small surf along south facing shores through Sunday. Mainly background swells are expected for the upcoming week with mainly a combination of short-period southeast and background medium- to long-period south-southwest swells. A small, long-period south- southwest swell is possible next weekend.
