Swell Summary
Afternoon buoy and shore reports show surf heights have decreased below High Surf Warning (HSW) threshold but remain above High Surf Advisory (HSA) threshold. All HSWs are therefore downgraded to HSAs. Surf along north and west facing shores will slowly decline and potentially fall below HSA levels late Tuesday through Wednesday. Surf along east facing shores will briefly pick up through the first half of the week, with rough, short period energy expected. A downward trend is possible later in the week. For the second half of the holiday week, another warning-level northwest swell is possible, albeit smaller than this last one.
