Swell Summary
A large west-northwest to northwest swell will quickly rise this morning and peak during the day today, then steadily subside this evening into Thursday. A similar or even slighly larger northwest swell should fill in Thursday afternoon and peak Thursday night into Friday morning. This large northwest swell will gradually decline over the weekend and will be followed by another moderate to large west-northwest to northwest swell on Monday.
Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny with mainly background energy through the week. Surf along east facing shores will also remain tiny to small through the week due to mostly light background wind flow, with a potential slight uptick early next week with the return of the trade winds.
