Swell Summary

Surf along south-facing shores will trend up today as a fresh south- southwest swell fills in. The surf should peak below the advisory level later today through the weekend, then ease late Sunday through early next week. This swell combined with high water levels could lead to water sweeping across areas of the beach that typically remain dry through the afternoon high tide cycles today through the weekend. Surf along north and west-facing shores will trend up through the day Monday as an out-of-season, small north-northwest swell arrives. Surf along east-facing shores will remain small through Saturday, then rise later this weekend through early next week as the trades increase.
