Swell Summary
Surf along south facing shores will continue to slowly decline as the current small south swell eases. Background swells are expected through the weekend.
Small surf along north facing shores will continue today due to a short-period north-northeast swell. A similar size north- northeast swell is expected to arrive Thursday night and Friday. A slightly larger, mid-period north-northwest swell is expected late Sunday through the middle of next week.
Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain rough and choppy through the weekend, trending down early next week as wind speeds taper off.
