Swell Summary
A medium to long period north swell will build tonight into and produce advisory level surf along all exposed north facing shores Monday through Tuesday, then decline through the rest of the week. A small south swell will fade tonight and remain mostly background through the week. Surf along west facing shores will remain somewhat elevated due to the influence of the north swell wrap Monday into Tuesday before declining. East facing shore wind waves will remain relatively small under this recent weaker trade regime. East chop will pick back up through Tuesday in response to strengthening trades.
