Swell Summary
Surf along south-facing shores will lower gradually tonight into Sunday as the current south swell declines. A fresh, long- period south-southwest swell (1 foot, 19 seconds) is expected to arrive by Sunday night, peaking Monday into Tuesday, bumping up surf heights slightly. A gradual downward trend is expected from late Tuesday through midweek.
Surf along north-facing shores will gradually ease over the weekend as a medium- period north-northwest swell fades. A series of small northwest swells next week will keep surf from going flat. Friday could see a small to medium north swell. Surf along east-facing shores will hold steady near seasonal averages through next week due to the persistent trades.
