Swell Summary
The moderate size, long period northwest (320 degree) swell that peaked yesterday will continue to gradually fall off through early Monday. This swell decline has allowed the High Surf Advisory (HSA) to expire along north and west-facing shores. North shore surf will remain elevated the next few days with eastern exposure surf on the rise as a fairly large, medium period east northeast (40-60 degree) swell from a close proximity gale low arrives Monday. East-facing shore surf heights will likely achieve HSA levels, with surf potentially reaching warning levels, as this ENE swell peaks Monday night into Tuesday. Days of fresh to locally strong trades has produced a rough, short period wind wave, and these rough conditions are expected to continue along eastern shores with no substantial break in the trades. Eastern passing southern hemispheric gale lows will produce swell energy that may eventually make it into our local waters late this week. South-facing shore surf will probably increase by another foot or two with the arrival of these small, long period south swells.
