Swell Summary

A new long-period northwest (320 degree) swell is expected to fill in later this afternoon and peak on Sunday at High Surf Advisory levels along north facing shores. This swell will be reinforced by a larger north-northwest (330 to 340 degree) swell late Monday into Tuesday with surf heights near High Surf Warning levels during its peak on Tuesday. This swell should slowly decline Tuesday night through rest of the week, while the swell direction veers more northerly.

Small background surf will continue along south facing shores throughout next week. Strengthening trades should bring an increase of choppy and rough surf along east facing shores Tuesday into middle of next week.
