Swell Summary

The current north-northwest (340 degree) swell will gradually decline tonight before a small to moderate, short to medium period 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. Since the storm generating the swell will be compact and fast-moving, there is some uncertainty as to the potential surf height, though it appears that near seasonal average is likely at this time. Rough surf along east facing shores will decrease through midweek as trade winds decrease. While wind wave energy is not expected to change much midweek, the above mentioned north swell could increase surf along some exposed eastern shores. South facing shores will experience mainly small background swell through the week.
