Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will steadily lower into the weekend as the trades ease locally and upstream of the state across the eastern Pacific. Surf along south facing shores will remain above average through Friday due to a mix of a declining medium period southeast swell and a peaking long-period south-southwest swell. This south- southwest swell will gradually ease Friday through the weekend.
