Swell Summary

Surf along north and west shores will be at a minimum during the during the next 12 hours, followed by a significant rise for much of the coming week. The current northwest swell will be reinforced by a moderate pulse of north-northwest swell that will arrive later today, peaking by Tuesday. The first of several large long period northwest swells will build through the day on Tuesday and will produce surf well above High Surf Advisory levels by Tuesday night and Wednesday. Surf will likely exceed High Surf Warning levels Thursday into next weekend if conditions evolve as projected, this swell energy will peak on Friday.
