Swell Summary
A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect through Monday morning for north and west facing shores exposed to the large northwest swell energy. This swell will hold above HSA thresholds into Monday as yet another much larger overlapping northwest (320-330 degree) swell swiftly builds surf to High Surf Warning (HSW) levels from Monday through Tuesday. We will likely issue an HSW on Monday to cover this next warning level surf event. Yet another XL northwest (320-330 degree) swell will build into the region by Thursday, potentially producing another round of warning level surf along north and west facing shores lasting through Friday. This northwest swell energy will diminish into next weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the first half of this week due to a continued disruption in the trade wind flow. Surf heights will remain very small along south facing shores through the forecast period.
