.DISCUSSION...
A small, short period NE and a small, medium period NW swell will
continue to slowly decline into Tuesday. A pair of overlapping small
to moderate, long period NNW (310-340 degree) swells will arrive
Tuesday, peaking Wednesday. Surf could peak near or above High Surf
Advisory (HSA) thresholds along exposed N and W facing shores before
gradually declining Wednesday night through the end of the week.
Another overlapping small, short to medium period N (350-010 degree)
swell arrives Thursday into Friday. Then another moderate, long
period NW (310-330 degree) swell arrives Friday, peaking near HSA
thresholds over the weekend.
Surf along E facing shores will continue to decline tonight into
Tuesday due to the weakening of the local and upstream trade
winds. As a new high pressure builds N of the state Wednesday
through Thursday, rough and choppy surf along E shores could near
HSA levels. For S shores, periods of tiny background south swell
energy will continue to move through keeping surf from going flat.
