Swell Summary

The declining mid-period NNW swell will be replaced today by a larger N swell building in through Friday. Surf heights will build to High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels on Friday along N facing shores. The low passing N of the state will continue to intensify as it moves away from the island chain on Saturday, likely delivering a larger N swell peaking above HSA thresholds, lasting from Sunday into early next week. A couple moderate sized WNW swells are also expected, a smaller one this weekend, and a slightly larger one from Monday into Wednesday.

Rough and choppy surf, due to increasing short-period wind waves, will develop along S and W facing shores from tonight through Friday due to the increasingly strong low-level S to SW winds.
