Swell Summary

The only show in town swell-wise will be a new moderate size, short to medium period northeast (40-60 degree) swell originating from a close proximity gale low. As evidenced by the swell being observed at Buoy 51000 around midnight, it will be filling into the nearshore waters later this morning, peaking during the afternoon and evening hours. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect for all east-facing shores through early Tuesday morning. The HSA may need to be extended in time on Tuesday. Days of fresh to locally strong trades has produced a rough, short period wind wave and, with no substantial break in the trades, rough conditions are expected to continue along eastern shores. East-facing shore surf trends will have to be closely monitored through the day. The northeast swell mixed in with elevated trade wind waves does create a low probability that rough east surf could briefly reach 15 foot warning thresholds. Weekend eastern passing southern hemispheric gale lows have produced swell energy that will eventually make it into our local waters Thursday. Thus, south-facing shore surf may increase by another foot or two later this week with the arrival of these small, longer period south swells.
