Swell Summary
Numerous pulses of SSW swell energy will bring elevated surf along S facing shores through the forecast period. The current swell should peak today into Monday just below High Surf Advisory, then ease slightly mid-week. Additional long- period swells arrive Thursday through the weekend.
A small medium-period NW swell will arrive Monday and Tuesday, with the potential for a small follow-up NW swell later in the week.
Breezy trade winds will continue to generate short-period wind waves that will support choppy surf along exposed E facing shores the next couple of days. By mid-week, trades will weaken and allow surf heights to lower.
