Swell Summary
Small surf along the north and west facing shores will hold through the weekend from a pair of small north and northwest swells. A moderate sized long period northwest swell will arrive Monday, peak Tuesday, then gradually lower Wednesday through next weekend. This swell will give a noticeable boost to north and west shore surf late Monday through Wednesday, potentially close to advisory levels on Tuesday.
Near to just below average surf along south facing shores is expected through the weekend from small overlapping south swells. A new long period south swell will build Monday and Tuesday, and peak Wednesday and Thursday near advisory levels. This swell will then gradually lower Friday through next weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will trend up slightly this weekend into early next week as the trades strengthen upstream of the state. East shore surf will build close to seasonal levels by the end of the upcoming work week.
