HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR NORTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

The current moderate, medium-period north-northwest (330 degree) swell filled in overnight well above model-predicted values and is currently still running around 8 feet at 12 seconds. Therefore, will extend the High Surf Advisory (HSA) through midnight tonight (HST). The swell should drop below advisory level later tonight, then continue to fade over the next few days. A small medium to long- period swell from the northwest (320 deg) is expected to fill in Monday, peak Tuesday and decline through the middle of next week.

The current small, long-period southwest (210 deg) swell will continue to slowly decline into early next week. A small, long- period southwest swell could build into early next week before subsiding. Another small long-period southwest (200 deg) swell is possible by the later half of next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain below average over the next several days, even with the slight boost today with the brief uptick in trades.
