Swell Summary
A moderate long period northwest swell (320 to 330 degrees) is expected to steadily fill in on Tuesday and peak late Tuesday into Wednesday morning then gradually decline the rest of the work week. A smaller north-northwest swell should provide a boost this weekend. Surf along south facing shores should see a series of small long-period southwest pulses through the weekend due to a series of storms near the Tasman Sea last week. Additionally, a small short-period southwest swell is also expected Wednesday into Thursday. East facing shores should remain small through much of the week due to the lack of strong trades locally or upstream of the state.
