Swell Summary
The large northeast swell continues on a slow and steady decline. However, the swell remains elevated enough (along with the trades) to warrant extending the High Surf Advisory (HSA) for east facing shores through tonight. East shore surf is expected to then fall below advisory level Wednesday morning. A small, medium- period northwest swell will keep surf elevated, but below advisory level for north and west facing shores through Thursday. A larger northwest swell is scheduled to arrive late Thursday and will likely increase surf to HSA levels for north and west shores as it peaks early Friday. A series of very small, medium to long-period south to southwest swells will keep south shore surf from going completely flat this week.
