Swell Summary
The current small, medium period north northwest swell (4 feet 13 seconds) is producing head to slightly over head high surf along north facing shores and will hold today before gradually declining this weekend. A series of smaller northwest to north swells are expected next week that should produce near head high surf.
A near 3 foot, medium to long period south southwest swell that peaked late last night will linger through Saturday. This swell has resulted in fun above summer average surf heights (5 to 6 foot on face) across many south-facing surf zones. This surf will hold today and Saturday before slowly subsiding early next week. A mix of both a reinforcing long period south southwest swell and new short period south southeast swell energy should maintain near to above seasonal average surf this weekend. South-facing shore surf will generally decline next week, but small south southwest swells will hold surf at near summertime averages through the middle of next week. East facing shores will remain rough and choppy from the trade winds.
