Swell Summary

The current moderate, medium period west northwest swell (300-330) has been holding today at the nearshore buoys. This swell should hold through tonight, maintaining moderate sized surf along north and west shores. This swell will be reinforced by another on Thursday that should bring surf to close to advisory levels Thursday afternoon into Friday. Another slightly larger northwest swell is expected to arrive on Friday, which could also reach advisory levels and maintain elevated surf through Friday night. That swell will slowly decline through the weekend. A small medium to long period northwest swell is expected early next week followed by a moderate northwest by the middle of next week.

East shore surf will remain small tonight due to weak winds, then become large and choppy by Thursday as trade winds increase from Thursday through the weekend. Expect minimal background energy for south facing shores through much of the week.
