Swell Summary
A pair of overlapping small, short period north swells should maintain small surf across north facing shores through the remainder of the weekend. A short lived small, short to medium period northeast swell is expected through tomorrow, which will also boost surf along east facing shores. There is the potential for a moderate long period north-northwest swell as early as tomorrow, which would peak Monday below advisory levels for north facing shores, with the swell lingering into the middle of the new week.
A moderate, long period south swell hasn't shown on the near shore buoys yet, and the latest guidance now indicates it should arrive later this evening. Expect this to then fill in tonight, peaking perhaps a little later tomorrow, hold into Monday, and then gradually declining through the middle of next week. This swell may boost surf along south facing shores to near or slightly below advisory levels during its peak.
