Swell Summary
Surf along north facing shores will remain below seasonal average this week. The current small north-northwest swell will gradually lower into Wednesday. A new moderate sized medium-period north- northwest swell will build Wednesday and Wednesday night, producing a modest increase in surf through Thursday. This swell will gradually lower Thursday night and Friday. North shore surf will then hold relatively steady through the weekend as a new northwest swell moves in and gradually shifts more northerly. A new moderate sized medium period north-northwest swell could give north shore surf another modest boost late Sunday through early next week.
The current south swell will maintain above normal south shore surf through Wednesday, with a gradual decline on Thursday. A new long-period south-southwest swell will arrive late Thursday keeping some small south shore surf in place through early next week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through at least Saturday, due to the lack of a significant fetch of upstream trade winds. As trades increase, east shore surf will gradually rise Sunday into early next week.
