Swell Summary

The recent small to moderate, medium period northwest swell will gradually decline through Saturday. The next moderate size, longer period northwest swell will arrive and begin to fill in late Saturday. This swell will peak surf to near High Surf Advisory (HSA) heights by Sunday, then slowly subside Monday. A reinforcing north northwest (330-340 degree) swell arriving by Monday night and may lift surf heights well above HSA thresholds and approach High Surf Warning levels on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Small surf continues along south facing shores with small background south swell pulses next week Monday and Thursday. Strengthening trades through next week will build surf heights along east facing shores.
