Swell Summary

Large and rough surf associated with strong onshore winds and large seas will lead to hazardous beach conditions through midweek for exposed north and east facing shores. A long-period northeast swell arriving Friday will support the surf holding into the weekend for exposed north and east facing shores. Surf along north and west facing shores will rise over the weekend as a small, long-period north-northwest swell arrives and moves through. A more significant event is possible Sunday night through early next week, which could result in advisory to warning level surf for north and west facing shores. Surf along south facing shores will trend up over the weekend as a long-period south swell arrives.
