Swell Summary

The long period south swell that has been bringing above advisory level surf throughout the day is expected to peak tonight near warning levels. A recent spike at the buoys confirms near warning level surf continuing through tonight and into tomorrow morning. If the buoys increase any higher, a high surf warning will be needed. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect for all south- facing shores through Sunday night. This swell will gradually fade into next week.

Surf along east facing shores should remain small today due to the lighter trade winds. Tropical Storm Henriette will pass far east of the state tonight, sending a medium period east swell. This swell could briefly increase the east facing shores Sunday before subsiding Monday. Below average east shore surf is expected Tuesday into Wednesday next week. A medium period northeast swell will be possible by Thursday.

Tiny surf along north facing shores will trend down tonight before another tiny pulse arrives tomorrow. Another small northwest swell is expected to arrive Sunday night into Monday.
