Swell Summary
A moderate, short to medium-period north swell will arrive tonight, peak late Tuesday through early Wednesday, then gradually decline through the end of the work week. North shore surf will return to mostly flat levels for next weekend. The lack of strong trades over and upstream of the state will keep east shore surf tiny through mid-week, aside from the locations exposed to the previously mentioned north swell. The return of fresh to strong trades will allow east shore surf to gradually build back to near normal levels Thursday through the weekend. South shore surf will remain small this week, with mainly background swells moving through. A small, long-period south-southwest swell could give south shore surf a boost over the weekend.
