Swell Summary
The current north-northwest swell will decline through tonight. A small, medium period north-northwest swell will build on Saturday and produce north shore surf near September average Saturday night and early Sunday. A small, medium period northwest will arrive on Tuesday, shift out of the north Wednesday and Thursday, and hold into Friday.
The current mix of small, long period south-southwest swell and short period southwest swell will decline tonight and Saturday. Another pulse of inconsistent southwest swell originating from the Tasman Sea will push south shore surf to near seasonal average late Sunday and Monday. A more consistent south-southwest swell is expected Tuesday and Wednesday.
East shore surf will remain well below normal through the week.
