Swell Summary

The current northwest (310-320) swell continues to slowly decline, and surf and buoy observations show that surf heights along north and west facing shores have fallen below advisory levels today. North and west facing shores will see additional boosts in surf throughout the week, however. Guidance indicates the first in a series of overlapping northwest swells will begin arriving late Monday. An additional reinforcement is expected Tuesday. A couple of larger boosts in north shore surf will come later in the week Wednesday night through Thursday and again Friday night into Saturday.

Surf along south facing shores will continue to see a slight boost for the next couple of days from a series of consecutive southwest pulses. Small to moderate south shore surf can be expected before gradually declining through Wednesday. An additional south pulse is expected next weekend.

Surf along east facing shores will decline and then remain small for the rest of the week as a lingering small north-northeast swell fades.
