The current west-northwest swell will continue to decline through today with surf heights dropping below average. Forerunners of an extra large northwest swell (310 to 325 degrees) have reached the offshore buoy 51001 and should trickle in locally through the day. In addition there is another moderate, short to medium period northwest swell overlapping that will provide a slight bump in surf along north and west facing shores this afternoon. Surf heights will then rapidly build this evening and peak Tuesday well above High Surf Warning levels along most north and west facing shores as the extra large northwest swell builds in. Overlapping pulses will keep surf elevated through Wednesday before subsiding below High Surf Advisory levels Thursday night into Friday. This swell will also push combined seas well above the 10 foot SCA threshold in many areas. Another extra large swell is possible late Friday and Saturday.

Rough choppy surf along south facing shores will hold through today as southerly winds remain strong ahead of the front. Surf along east facing shores will remain tiny through much of the week due to lack of strong trades near and upstream of the state. An increase surf is possible along east shores this weekend.
