HIGH SURF WARNING FOR EAST FACING SHORES
HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR NORTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

The northeast swell appears to have passed its peak based on near-shore buoy data. However, the swell heights remain elevated and surf observations indicated waves well above the warning threshold for east-facing shores. The swell should continue to decline through tonight. In addition to the northeast swell exposure, north- facing shores are expected to have a small medium-period northwest swell arriving late tonight into Tuesday. A larger northwest swell looks to build in near the advisory level along north facing shores Thursday to Friday. A small long period south swell will build into the region with a slight bump in south shore surf activity lasting into Tuesday.
