Swell Summary

Surf heights will continue at advisory levels today with a gradual decrease in surf heights expected as the current northwest swell slowly declines. A new larger northwest swell will arrive by early Saturday morning, likely producing warning level surf to most north and west facing shores through Sunday. As this swell declines on Monday yet another larger northwest swell arrives, pumping surf heights above warning thresholds on Tuesday and Wednesday.
