Swell Summary
Surf along N shores remains small into this evening as small medium period WNW (310 degree) energy fills in. Tonight into Sunday, small, medium- period NW (330-340 degree) energy will also build. These swells will bump surf slightly upward for N and W shores. Monday night through Wednesday, a moderate medium- period WNW (310 degree) swell will fill in and increase surf to just below the advisory threshold. This swell will linger and gradually decline through the latter half of the week.
Along S shores, expect minor pulses from the South Pacific to provide periods of small surf through the weekend until a larger long-period S swell fills in Monday and lasts through the week. Strengthening southerly winds will lead to choppy conditions by midweek.
E shores will subside as trades weaken and will remain small as winds veer to SE. By the middle of next week, a small medium period swell will provide a bump to surf.
