...HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH AND EAST FACING SHORES THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...

South and southwesterly swells from Hurricane Lowell will keep
surf elevated above High Surf Advisory conditions across south-
and west-facing shores through at least Sunday. A forecasted
northward turn will cause an increase in swell, likely
bringing surf along these shores rapidly to warning levels by
Monday. These swells are then expected to drop off quickly on
Tuesday. A large, medium- period east swell from Tropical Storm
Karina will also persist through at least Monday, producing
advisory level surf along east facing shores.
