Swell Summary
A new medium-period NW swell will build tonight and Tuesday, with peak swell heights near 4 feet late Tuesday. This swell's period and height will diminish as it becomes N Wednesday and Thursday. Small, short-period N swell will likely prevail next weekend, with the potential for a larger long-period NW swell by Monday.
A small long-period SW swell is expected to receive a gradual boost from the SSW beginning tonight and persisting into Wednesday, with peak swell heights near 3 feet. An even larger long-period S swell appears likely to arrive Sunday, and peak near High Surf Advisory levels early next week.
