Swell Summary
The current large northwest swell will continue to trend down in the early morning hours. An extra-large north-northwest (340 deg) swell will build in quickly this morning maintaining warning level surf through tonight. A mix of north (360-020 deg) and northwest (320 deg) swell energy impacting exposed beaches will likely support advisory- level surf by this weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the week except for areas exposed to the north swell. Surf along south facing shores will remain around the winter average through the week.
