Swell Summary
East facing shores will continue to see rough and choppy seas for at least the next several days before declining coinciding with the weakening winds. North facing shores will decline today into Monday. A reinforcing small to moderate northwest swell will move in Monday before fading into midweek.
South facing shores will continue to see consistent pulses of swell through the week as storm activity in the South Pacific ramps up. Long period forerunners have filled in overnight and will build into Sunday, with peak surf heights remaining below High Surf Advisory (HSA) heights. Reinforcing south to southwest swells filling in on Monday looks to be just below HSA.
