Swell Summary

The current north-northwest swell will hold steady just below advisory levels today, then slowly lower tonight through Saturday. After a small day up north on Saturday, a new moderate size northwest swell will build Saturday night and Sunday. This swell will peak just below advisory levels Sunday night and Monday, then slowly lower through the middle of next week.

East shore surf will remain small through Friday, increase to near normal over the weekend, then rise to above average levels early next week. The surf along east facing shores is expected to gradually trend lower by the middle of next week as the trades weaken. A small south swell will give south shore surf a small boost today through Friday, before dropping back to very small mainly background levels Saturday through the middle of next week.
