Swell Summary
The current large, long-period northwest swell is still running about a foot or so above guidance, but has been slowly lowering throughout the day. The High Surf Advisory for north and west facing shores remains in effect through tonight, as surf slowly comes down. A new moderate, long-period northwest swell will build Monday, peak Monday night and Tuesday, then gradually decline through the middle of next week. Surf with this swell is not expected to reach advisory levels.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy through Saturday due to locally strong east to southeasterly winds and a wide fetch of strong trades upstream. East shore surf will gradually decline Sunday into early next week as the upstream trades diminish and local winds veer southerly. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend, with only background southerly swells. South shore surf could get rough and choppy Monday through the middle of next week as the southerly winds pick up.
