Late Wednesday the swell will begin to fade and should be down to leftovers by Thursday. Trade swell is expected to stay elevated all week. In fact, a High Surf Advisory is posted for east shores through at least Wednesday.

Nothing significant is expected out of the SPAC this week. A southwest swell is expected for the 27th to around the 29th.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
