Swell Summary

The current small northwest swell will continue to produce small surf along most north and west facing shores today. A slightly larger, medium-period northwest swell will likely boost surf along exposed north and west facing shores from Thursday through Friday. A moderate, long-period north-northwest swell arriving Saturday is expected to produce moderate surf along exposed north and west facing shores this weekend. Modest surf is expected to persist along south facing shores this week due to south-southwest swells moving through the area. A long-period south-southwest swell arriving Sunday may produce above seasonal average surf along south facing shores early next week. Elsewhere, the weakening trade winds will result in diminishing surf along east facing shores later this week.
