Swell Summary
The current moderate to large, medium to long period north swell will peak this evening and slowly decline through the end of the week. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect through Tuesday for all north facing shores across the state. Surf along west facing shores will remain slightly elevated with the influence of the north swell through Tuesday. East facing shore wind waves will gradually pick up Tuesday in response to strengthening trades nad remain rough and choppy throught the rest of the week. Areas exposed to the north swell on the east shores will also see a wrap with this swell. Surf along south facing shores looks to remain small with background southerly swells.
