Swell Summary
An extended period of hazardous surf and beach conditions will persist into Monday along exposed north and west facing shores due to an extra-large northwest swell (315-330 degrees). This swell peak around sunset, and will ease tonight through Monday. Surf will fall into the High Surf Advisory range during the day Monday and should decline below advisory levels later Tuesday.
Another large northwest swell is expected Thursday and Friday, but it is not anticipated to be as large as today's swell. Aside from areas exposed to the northwest swell, surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through Monday. As trades return, some increase in rough, short period energy is expected for eastern shores late Monday through the holiday week.
