Swell Summary

A large, medium period northwest (330-340 degree) swell is expected to arrive late this evening, and build through Monday. This swell is expected to produce surf near High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels along north and west facing shores at its peak. An overlapping long period north-northwest swell will build Monday night and will likely push surf above the advisory level by Tuesday. This swell will gradually decline through the remainder of the week.

A slight increase in choppy east shore surf is expected late Monday though mid-week as trade winds rebuild. Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny to small through the forecast period.
