Swell Summary

Small surf will prevail along north shores through much of the week. As the current north-northwest swell fades Monday night, another tiny northwest swell will fill in and maintain small surf into Wednesday. Minimal surf is expected later Wednesday through Friday, followed by another small pulse of northwest swell next weekend.

South shore surf will be near April average through tomorrow, followed by a larger south-southwest swell on Tuesday. Surf along south facing shores is expected to peak above summer average heights Tuesday and Wednesday, then decline Thursday and Friday.

Small surf along east facing shores will be near current heights through Monday, then drop on Tuesday as southerly winds develop.
