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.
