Swell Summary

The current medium-period north-northwest (340-350 degree) swell will continue to slowly fade into Monday, bringing surf back down to below average levels for this time of year. The next two long to medium-period overlapping northwest (310-320 degree) swells will arrive on Monday, boosting surf along north and west facing shores and possibly reaching marginal advisory levels by Wednesday. Choppy east shore surf will remain small, then decline further over the next few days as trades gradually ease. Expect minimal background energy for south facing shores, keeping south shore surf heights just above flat levels.
