Swell Summary
The current small south swell (13-14 seconds) will hold through tonight and then gradually decline Sunday and Monday. Several small south swells may move through the state next week, keeping small surf along south facing shores. A tiny pulse from the north northwest will keep tiny ripples along north facing shores through the rest of the weekend. As trades increase both upstream and locally, expect east facing surf to gradually build Sunday through the first half of next week. A small boost in surf along east facing shores will also be possible early next week from former Tropical Cyclone Emilia.
