Swell Summary
The current small north-northwest swell (340 degree) will continue to steadily decline and fade out on Tuesday. A moderate long-period north-northwest (330 degree) swell will arrive Tuesday evening and peak on Wednesday likely below advisory thresholds. A slightly larger long-period west-northwest to northwest swell (300 to 320 degree) is expected to fill in Thursday night and peak on Friday. This swell could briefly approach advisory thresholds for select north and west facing shores on Friday and gradually decline over the weekend.
Rough, elevated surf will continue along east facing shores with an increase possible Tuesday through midweek in response to the trades strengthening. Surf along south- facing shores will remain small, but a small bump out of the south- southwest is expected by Wednesday.
