Swell Summary
Buoys continue to report decreasing north-northwest swell trends this morning as surf heights along exposed north facing shores will remain at High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels through this afternoon. A HSA remains in effect for most north facing shores today with surf heights along west facing shores falling just below advisory thresholds. The current swell will completely fall below HSA levels along north facing shores by this evening. Another overlapping medium period north swell will arrive by Thursday, keeping surf heights elevated through Friday. Yet another northwest swell will arrive late Friday, boosting surf heights once again through the weekend. Surf heights for north and west facing shores may reach advisory levels as this swell energy peaks on Saturday.
Surf along east facing shores will become rough and choppy today with a downward trend lasting into the weekend. Small surf will continue along south facing shores.
