The current northwest swell will continue to lower today. A series of moderate, medium to short period north swells will move through the local waters today into the first half of next week, helping to keep surf elevated along north facing shores. A long- period, moderate northwest swell (310 degrees) is expected to boost surf heights to advisory levels along north and west facing shores Sunday into Monday, before subsiding Tuesday. Choppy, east shore surf will become increasingly rough as the wind swell picks up over the next couple of days and some wrap from the north swells mixes in. Background south swells will keep surf small along south facing shores today and tomorrow, then will gradually pick up early next week as a small, long- period swell fills in.
