Swell Summary
The High Surf Advisory has been cancelled as surf has dropped below advisory thresholds. A new long period northerly swell will then fill in tonight, likely sending north shore surf back up to advisory levels through Friday. North shore surf will then show a slow decline over the weekend. A small long period northwest swell will move through Monday through the middle of next week.
A building northeast swell is expected to fill in late Sunday and Sunday night, with surf likely building to advisory levels along east facing shores for Monday, potentially holding above the advisory threshold through the middle of next week. Some wrap into north facing shores will likely occur with this swell as well. South shore surf will remain tiny through the weekend, with a small boost possible Monday through the middle of next week as a small long period south-southwest swell moves through.
