The current south-southwest swell will peak today and steadily decline through the weekend. Another, yet bigger moderate long period south- southwest swell will build through Saturday, peak Sunday night into Monday and could reach High Surf Advisory level criteria of 10 feet at the peak of the event. A moderate long period south swell is expected to reach advisory levels late next week too.
The current small northwest swell continues to decline. However, a reinforcing pulse from the northwest will build in late this afternoon to give north facing shores a small bump. Wind waves for east facing shores have diminished significantly and will remain small into the weekend.
