Swell Summary
A moderate, long period northwest swell will maintain surf at High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels for exposed north and west facing shores through tonight, then will remain elevated but gradually decline Thursday through Friday. A new, reinforcing moderate long period northwest swell is expected to arrive late Friday, followed by another larger reinforcing northwest swell Sunday night and Monday. This late weekend swell will likely result in surf along north and west facing shores returning to advisory levels Sunday night into Monday.
Surf along south facing shores will return to background levels for the next several days. Short period trade wind swell will be below seasonal average through Thursday and will likely pick up Friday through the weekend as trade winds increase.
