Swell Summary

The current north swell will continue to slowly decline today through the middle of the week. A new moderate sized north- northeast swell is forecast to build Wednesday night, giving a nice boost to north and east shore surf Thursday with a steady decline to follow Thursday night through next weekend.

A series of south-southwest and south-southeast swells will keep south shore surf relatively steady through next weekend, at or slightly below the summertime average.
