Swell Summary

East-facing shore surf will continue to remain rough and choppy tonight in response to strong east trades, which are expected to decline through the first half of the week. The High Surf Advisory for all east-facing shores has been extended through the day Monday. North and south-facing shorelines exposed to these easterly wind waves may experience elevated surf.

A small, medium period northwest swell will continue through Monday afternoon. A similar pulse from the northwest is possible late Wednesday night into Thursday. A small to moderate size north swell may arrive toward the end of the week. This swell will originate from a North Pacific low that comes within proximity of the north offshore waters.
