Swell Summary

A small north-northwest swell will hold through tonight, followed by a moderate, long-period north swell building on Sunday. The north swell (350 to 010 degrees) will produce surf near High Surf Advisory thresholds along north-facing shores, as well as some exposed eastern shores, Sunday afternoon into Monday morning. The north swell will gradually decline late Monday through Wednesday. A tiny pulse of northwest swell will be possible late next week, followed a moderate swell next weekend.

Rough surf along east-facing shores will remain above seasonal average over the next couple of days due to elevated trade wind swell and some wrapping north swell. East shore surf is expected to be around seasonal average Tuesday through the rest of the week. Mainly small background level surf will persist along south- facing shores through much of the week, though a small long-period swell will be possible on Friday.
