Swell Summary

A minor bump in north shore surf will occur this morning as a small, short to medium period north swell (350-360 degree) fills in through noon. However, the arrival of a moderate size, medium period north swell (350 degree) Sunday night or early Monday may produce High Surf Advisory-level surf along north-facing shores. This swell will peak Monday evening and then slowly decline through mid week. A small, long period south swell (180 degree) reinforcement that arrived early Friday morning will hold near waist high south shore surf through the day. Surf along west-facing shores will remain somewhat elevated as these shores will continue to be influenced by both north and south swell wrap. East-facing shore wind wave chop will remain relatively small under this recent weak trade wind regime.
