Swell Summary
A large, long period south southwest swell has peaks and will maintain warning level surf through tonight. Continue to expect a slow decline in surf as this large swell fades over the next couple of days. Surf along south-facing shores will drop to High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels by Tuesday morning and then could further drop below HSA levels Wednesday. Another south southwest swell is expected to fill in Wednesday night into Thursday that could push surf back up to advisory levels.
Very little swell energy is arriving along north-facing shores, keeping surf tiny to flat. A small bump in surf is possible for north-facing shores Tuesday into Wednesday with the arrival of a small northwest swell and a smaller north swell. Surf along east-facing shores will remain below average as winds ease through midweek.
