Swell Summary
Surf along N facing shores remains small early this afternoon, but a small to moderate, medium to long period NW swell will fill in this evening into tonight in maintenance of elevated surf through the weekend. Small long period forerunners are evident on the NDBC buoys 51101 and 51001 early this afternoon. A moderate long period NW swell is then expected to arrive late Tuesday and peak Wednesday near High Surf Advisory thresholds before declining by the end of next week.
Surf along E facing shores will decline through the weekend due to the weakening of the local and upstream trade winds. Large choppy short period surf for N and exposed E shores is possible by the middle of next week depending on the evolution of the approaching cold front. For S shores, tiny background southerly swell remains through the forecast period.
