Swell Summary
No advisory level swells are expected this week. The current small, medium period south swell will continue to fall over the remaining daylight hours today, with a small longer period reinforcement swell expected to arrive tonight. That will hold the surf along south facing shores around waist high through Sunday. The current north swell will continue to decline through Sunday. Another small, medium period north swell is expected to arrive Thursday, causing a small bump in surf late in the week. Typical short period wind wave chop will occur along east-facing shores with the moderate to locally strong trades this weekend.
