Swell Summary
Surf along south-facing shores will trend up above average this weekend as a long period south-southwest swell arrives. Forerunners will begin filling in this evening, with the surf likely reaching the advisory level late Saturday through Sunday. A gradual downward trend will follow early next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy, with heights hovering around average each day. Surf along exposed north-facing shores will remain small through the weekend, with mainly background short-period north-northeast energy continuing. A long-period northwest swell arriving late Sunday will lead to the surf picking back up to near average levels as it peaks Monday.
