Swell Summary
A moderate size, medium period northwest (330-340 degree) will veer to a more northerly direction (340-360 degree) and will continue to subside into Monday. A large, moderate to long period northwest swell (310-360 degrees) may produce high end advisory level or low end warning level surf late Tuesday into Wednesday with a possible secondary peak late Wednesday, before subsiding Thursday. As this swell source tracks north and northeast of the state Wednesday into Thursday, the swell direction will become more northerly (360-010 degrees) as it subsides.
Moderate choppy east shore surf will persist for the next couple of days. Above average east shore choppy conditions can be expected Tuesday through the rest of the week. Locations exposed to the large northwest wrap may see an increase in surf heights, especially as the swell transitions into a more northerly direction.
