Swell Summary
A small to moderate long-period north-northwest swell continues to result in elevated surf along north-facing shores, though it is peaking a few feet below advisory criteria. This swell will begin to gradually decline tonight and continue to slowly diminish through Thursday.
A long-period south swell has also resulted in above average surf along south-facing shores today, though still below advisory levels. This swell is also expected to slowly decline through mid-week. Guidance indicates that a smaller long-period south swell will fill in on Thursday, hold through Friday, and then gradually decline this weekend.
Surf along west-facing shores will be influenced by a mix of both the north-northwest and south swells through mid-week. Surf along east-facing shores will be rough and choppy as trades fluctuate throughout the week.
