Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and east facing shores will remain up through the second half of the week as a mix of short-period wind waves and a medium-period northeast swell move through. Surf along north and west facing shores will rise over the weekend as a small, long-period north-northwest swell arrives. 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.
