Swell Summary

A short period north northwest swell will gradually lower over the next couple of days. An overlapping, moderate, mid-period northwest swell is expected to build through the day Monday, with surf reaching near advisory along north and west facing shores through Wednesday. A small north northeast swell should arrive during the second half of the week.

Overlapping south-southwest swells will keep surf along south-facing shores to around seasonal averages through Tuesday. A larger south swell may push surf up to near advisory levels Thursday and Friday.

Surf along most east-facing shores will be small through early next week, but areas exposed to wrapping northerly swells will experience periods of moderate surf through Monday. East-facing shores should also see a bump in surf if the north-northeast swell materializes during the latter half of this week.
