North shore surf will remain small through the weekend. Surf will trend up Sunday night and Monday as a small long-period north- northwest swell coincides with a more significant pulse of medium- period northwest swell. Surf could reach low end advisory levels Monday night and Tuesday, with the swell then on the decline Wednesday through late next week.

Surf along east facing shores will decline over the weekend, with only small very small surf expected through the upcoming work week.
