HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

The moderate size, long period south swell filling in tonight has lifted surf along many southern exposures to High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels. Surf is expected to briefly fall below advisory levels by late Tuesday. Another south swell arriving late Wednesday or early Thursday will lift south surf back up to advisory heights.

A moderate, medium to long period east swell moving in from what was once Tropical Cyclone Gil, in tandem with short period trade wind wave chop, will peak east-facing shore surf to near HSA levels into early Tuesday morning.

A small, medium period northwest swell originating from former Typhoon Krosa in the West Pacific is bumping surf up a bit along north-facing shores. A small size, medium to long period northwest swell is scheduled to arrive late Wednesday into Thursday that will keep northern surf from going completely flat.
