Swell Summary
Overlapping north to west-northwest swells will maintain elevated surf during the next few days. The northerly swell will decline overnight, but a reinforcing mix of long and short period west-northwest swells will maintain high end advisory level surf for most north facing shores, while west facing shores rise above the High Surf Advisory level. The large surf will persist into Thursday. For the upcoming weekend, another large, long period west-northwest swell will build on Saturday and produce surf around the warning level Saturday night into Sunday.
Along east facing shores, surf will remain small due to the lack of trades locally and upstream of the state, though some exposed areas will experience some wrapping north swell energy during the next 24 hours. Surf along south facing shores will be up through Wednesday due to southwesterly wind waves and a small, long period south swell. A downward trend is expected Thursday and Friday.
