Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west-facing shores will gradually lower tonight through midweek as a medium period NW (310 degrees) swell fades. A long period NW swell building this afternoon will peak late Tuesday into Tuesday night, and then gradually subside through Thursday. A larger long period NW (300-320 degrees) swell is then expected later this week that could drive surf heights to warning levels for exposed N and W facing shores late Friday into early Saturday. Surf along E facing shores will remain up due to a lingering NNE swell and a potential NE swell later this week. Surf along S facing shores could trend up through the first week of December due to a couple of out-of-season SSW swells.
