Swell Summary
A series of northwest to west northwest swells will pass through the next several days. The most recent west northwest (310-320 degree) swell that peaked this past holiday weekend surf will be leveling off through the day. The next moderate size, medium period west to northwest (310 degree) swell on its heels will build in beginning Wednesday and potentially lift north and west-facing shore surf back up to High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels Thursday and Friday. A slightly larger northwest swell arriving around New Year's Day (Sunday) may also generate a HSA event Monday. East- facing shore wind wave chop will remain small this week. A short term boost in easterlies the next couple of days will likely add another foot or two onto east faces.
