Swell Summary
A moderate, west-northwest (300-320) swell will continue to trend down through the rest of the weekend. The High Surf Advisory has been cancelled as surf heights have dropped below advisory levels. A small to moderate, medium-period north-northwest swell (340-350) may overlap the fading west-northwest swell Sunday night into Wednesday. In the long range, a series of small, long- period northwest (320-330) swells look to keep surf from going flat through much of next week.
Rough choppy surf along east facing shores will drop a notch into early next week. As winds strengthen by midweek, expect east shore surf to pick back up. No significant south swells expected through next week.
