Swell Summary
A large north northwest swell (340 degrees) will continue through tonight and begin tapering off Tuesday and shift out of the north. A High Surf Warning is in effect for the most exposed north facing shores and a High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect for remaining north shores and some west facing shores. Both headlines go through tonight, with the likelihood the warnings will be downgraded to advisories for Tuesday. The proximity of this surf generation fetch introduces a wide spectrum of wave energy extending into the shorter periods, resulting in rough and choppy surf along north facing shores. There is the potential for a very large northwest (320 degrees) swell building Thursday and continuing through the weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy due to the breezy trade winds. East facing shores will also be increasingly exposed to the north swell wrap Tuesday through Thursday which will boost surf heights a bit higher.
A small south swell will gradually decline through Tuesday with mainly background swell for south facing shores thereafter.
