Swell Summary

The current north swell (340-360 degrees) is starting to trend lower this morning as reported by the buoys, therefore the High Surf Advisory (HSA) was cancelled this morning. This north swell will continue to produce elevated surf heights just below HSA thresholds today along all north facing shores. A second north swell (340-360 degrees) arrives later tonight. This second swell may briefly exceed HSA levels on Sunday and then slowly fade through Wednesday. A third swell from the north-northwest direction (330-350 degrees) may once again build surf heights along north facing shores into the HSA range on Thursday and Friday.

A small, long period south swell will peak this weekend before slowly subsiding early next week. Another similar-sized south swell may arrive around the middle of next week. Surf along east facing shores will remain small due to diminished wind swell, except for some select east facing shores exposed to the north swell wrap.
