Swell Summary
The current west-northwest swell is expected to peak Sunday evening, and then slowly lower through the first part of the week. A similar sized northwest swell is expected to build in late Tuesday and linger through Wednesday, resulting in peak surf heights above advisory levels for north and west facing shores. A larger northwest swell is then possible Thursday night into Friday that would once again bring advisory level surf to north and west facing shores. Small surf is expected along south and east facing shores.
