Swell Summary

Surf along east-facing shores is on the decline, but will remain rough and choppy through tonight. With surf heights continuing to drop, the High Surf Advisory (HSA) for east facing shores has been cancelled.

The current small, medium period northwest (320 degree) swell will continue to decline tonight. However, a similar pulse from the northwest is possible late Wednesday night into Thursday, providing a small boost in north shore surf. A larger medium-period northwest swell is expected this weekend, as well as a moderate northeast swell. This combination of swells could result in advisory-level surf for north and west facing shores this weekend.
