Swell Summary
Surf along north and east-facing shores will trend up Wednesday through the second half of the week, as a short- to medium-period north-northeast swell arrives. Heights could reach advisory levels as early as Thursday for east-facing shores, but more likely during the peak Friday into Saturday, while north-facing exposures are expected to remain below advisory levels. The north-northeast swell will gradually ease over the weekend with a reinforcing north swell possible late Sunday into Monday of next week. Surf along south facing shores will remain small, with predominantly a mix of short- to medium- period southeast and long- period south- southwest swells. A slightly larger south swell is expected this weekend.
