Swell Summary
Surf along north facing shores will hold today and slowly decline tonight through Thursday. A similar size north-northeast swell is expected to arrive Thursday through Friday, which should keep the surf from going flat along north facing exposures. For the extended forecast, guidance is hinting at a slightly larger north-northwest swell that will boost surf heights along exposed north and west facing shores next week from Sunday into Tuesday.
Surf along south facing shores will continue to slowly decline as the current small south-southwest swell eases. Mainly background swells are expected during the second half of the week. Otherwise, a small southeast swell is possible this weekend into early next week.
Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain rough and choppy, with a small increase today as the trades strengthen.
