Swell Summary
Swell and surf will remain small along all shores through late Monday.
A small, medium period, northwest swell will move across the waters Monday night through Wednesday. Another small, long period, west northwest swell will enter the waters Wednesday night and provide a slight bump up for surf along west and northwest facing shores. A moderate, medium to long period, northeast swell arrives on Tuesday and peaks on Wednesday, bringing moderate surf to north and northeast facing shores, before slowly declining through the end of the week.
Surf will remain small along south and east facing shores through the period.
