Swell Summary

Surf along north and west facing shores will remain small through midweek, with mainly background, short- to medium-period northwest swells moving through. A significant northwest swell is expected to arrive late Wednesday night, peak Thursday, then ease into the weekend. Surf will quickly rise and exceed warning levels for exposed north and west facing shores Thursday through Friday. Surf along south facing shores will remain up slightly through Tuesday due to a small, background south-southwest swell moving through. Surf along east facing shores will begin to trend up next weekend as breezy trades return.
