Swell Summary

Current long-period south-southwest swell will continue to slowly decline through Friday. A small pulse out of the south-southwest should help maintain some rideable surf along south facing shores over the weekend. A small northwest swell is also expected to fill in on Saturday and peak late Saturday into Sunday morning with surf heights near the April average. Looking out to next week, a moderate south- southwest is expected during the second half of the week with surf heights peaking above the summer average on Thursday. Another similar northwest swell is also expected around Thursday of next week.
