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.
