Swell Summary
The High Surf Advisory (HSA) for all south facing shores has been extended through today. This swell is expected to drop below advisory level tonight and will continue to slowly decline through Thursday. Background level surf is expected Friday through the weekend.
Rough, choppy surf along east facing shores will remain slightly elevated through today. A small pulse of northeast swell energy appears to have arrived at near shore buoys. This small swell could provide a tiny boost along north and east facing exposures. East shore surf will fall below average by Wednesday and will decline further Thursday through Friday as the northeast swell quickly fades and trades over and upstream ease.
North facing shores may see a tiny bump from the combination of a small, medium period northwest swell and the northeast swell mentioned above today into Wednesday but will quickly fade Wednesday night.
