Swell Summary

Surf along north facing shores will remain small through midday before a small to moderate, medium to long period northwest swell looks to fill in this afternoon that will keep surf elevated through the weekend. Tiny long period forerunners have started to show up on the NDBC offshore buoy 51101 early this morning. A moderate long period northwest swell is expected to arrive late Tuesday, and peak Wednesday near High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels before declining by the end of next week.

Surf along east facing shores will continue to decline through the weekend due to the weakening of the local and upstream trade winds. Large choppy short period surf for north and exposed east shores is possible by the middle of next week depending on the evolution of the potential trough and approaching cold front mentioned above. For south shores, tiny background southerly swell will remain through the forecast period.
