North Shore under high surf advisory

Advertiser Staff

It's definitely the winter wave season on the North Shore, where surf 12 to 16 feet has translated into a high surf advisory until 4 p.m. tomorrow.

Surf is also up along western shores, the National Weather Service said, and will be 7 to 10 feet today.

Eastern shores will see surf 4 to 6 feet, and southern shores will see more tame surf at 2 to 4 feet.

The National Weather Service said the out-of-season south swell will slowly diminish tomorrow and the current northwest swell and the new north swell arriving later tonight will likely produce surf above the high surf advisory threshold along north facing shores into tomorrow afternoon.

Another moderate northwest swell arriving early Saturday will gradually subside Sunday.
