HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR NORTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

The current moderate medium period north-northwest swell is expected to fade slightly through the evening hours before a moderate to large north- northeast swell is expected to fill in late tonight. A High Surf Advisory has been issued for north facing shores starting at midnight through Tuesday morning.

Later this week, a moderate northwest swell is expected to fill in late Tuesday, and peak Wednesday near High Surf Advisory levels for north and potentially west facing shores. Also, a northeast swell from a forming low pressure system to the northeast is expected to be mixed in with the rough choppy seas from the trade winds.

East facing shores will exhibit large rough choppy seas through the forecast period, with potentially the largest surf at High Surf Advisory levels during the middle of the week. A small, long period, south-southwest swell will keep surf heights near seasonal averages along south facing shores through this evening. A series of south swells is expected Monday through Thursday which will keep surf elevated.
