Swell Summary

The current moderate, medium period, northwest swell (310-330) will continue to slowly decrease tonight. A series of northwest to north- northwest (310-340 degree) swells are expected during the second half of the week, with each pulse becoming slightly bigger with each passing day. The first pulse, a medium period northwest swell, will begin to fill in on Wednesday, and generate surf just below advisory levels. A slightly larger and longer period pulse is expected on Thursday out of the northwest followed by a slightly larger northwest on Friday. Surf heights should exceed advisory thresholds Thursday through through Friday, with the peak approaching warning levels late Thursday into Friday.

East shore surf will remain small through Wednesday due to weak winds, then become choppier by Thursday as trade winds increase from Thursday through the weekend. Expect minimal background energy for south facing shores through much of the week.
