Swell Summary
Surf along north facing shores will see a slight decline tonight into Tuesday as a short to medium period north-northwest (330-340 degree) swell slowly fades. An incoming moderate short-period north-northwest (330-350 degree) swell will produce another bump in north shore surf Tuesday night into Wednesday. However, the low that generated Wednesday's swell was rather compact and fast- moving so there remains some uncertainty regarding potential surf heights. Model guidance for north swells have trended towards a low bias so surf heights may come in higher then predicted. Stay tuned for more details. A new north-northwest swell will bring near advisory level surf over the weekend along exposed north and west facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small to moderate as the trades ease. Although, shorelines exposed to the north swell on Wednesday may see an increase in surf. South facing shores will continue to see mainly small background swells through the week.
