Swell Summary
A diminishing northwest swell will decrease surf heights today to minimal High Surf Advisory (HSA) thresholds for most north and west facing shores. A new long period XL northwest swell, 310-320 degree, is expected to rapidly build surf heights to High Surf Warning (HSW) levels starting later tonight. This next NW swell will peak on Wednesday with HSW conditions lasting into Thursday. These surf heights will gradually trend lower from Thursday into Friday. Another northwest swell is expected to potentially reach HSA levels for north and west facing shores by Sunday.
Small surf remains in the forecast for south and east facing shores this week.
