Our early season south-southwest bump is expected to gradually fade for southwest exposures Wednesday through Friday. Another swell is on its heels for next weekend.
Small short to mid period swell is expected for northwest exposures over the next few days. This energy will hang around Wednesday and Thursday before fading Friday. Another swell is possible this weekend.
