Swell Summary
The last in a series of north-northwest swells are expected during the next few days. A moderate north-northwest (340 degree) swell peaked at around 5 ft 13 seconds this morning and will slowly decline tonight and Sunday. A smaller north-northwest (330-340 degrees) swell may push surf along north and west facing shores back near seasonal average on Monday, then decline Tuesday. As this swell fades on Wednesday, a moderate short-period north swell will produce a brief boost in north shore surf.
Rough surf along east facing shores will slowly decrease Sunday into early next week as trade winds ease. Expect surf along east facing shores to begin to decline late tonight, fall to around seasonal average on Sunday, then drop slightly on Monday and Tuesday. While wind wave energy is not expected to change much midweek, some wrapping north swell could increase surf along some exposed eastern shores on Wednesday.
South facing shores will experience mainly small background swell through the week.
