Swell Summary
The current long period northwest swell will deline tonight. Surf heights along north and west facing shores will steadily decrease in line with this decreasing swell energy. The High Surf Advisory along exposed north and west facing shores remains in effect through tonight. Surf heights are expected to fall below advisory thresholds by morning. The next northwest swell may produce advisory level surf along exposed north and west facing shores from Tuesday into Wednesday, then slowly fade through the end of the week.
East facing shore surf will remain choppy the next few days as the trades build, and background south swell will keep surf small on south facing shores through the coming week.
