HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR NORTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

Surf along north facing shores will hold at HSA levels through tonight as a medium period NNW swell (330) fills in, and a HSA is in place for that time frame for N and W facing shores. Another NNW swell (320-330) is expected to fill in on Sunday, followed by a medium period NNE swell Sunday evening. The NNE swell being associated with an approaching front with near- gale winds, that will primarily impact the western end of the state. This mix of swells may maintain HSA level surf through Sunday before gradually fading early next week. The HSA may be extended through Sunday if buoy readings remain high through tonight. A moderate to large swell is then possible around the middle of next week.

Surf along east facing shores will remain small to moderate through Sunday morning, and then may be impacted by the medium period NNE swell mentioned above. South shore surf will remain small through early next week before building slightly mid to late week as a long period SSW swell (190) fills in across the region.
