Swell Summary
A moderate long-period northwest swell is filling in boosting north shore surf late today through Wednesday. A small, short- period north-northeast swell will fill in today before peaking tomorrow and subsiding Thursday. This overlap will make for some rough choppy conditions along north facing shores.
A slightly larger, long- period south swell, will gradually increase today into tomorrow. Surf could reach advisory levels tomorrow before slowly easing Thursday into the weekend. Strengthening southerly winds will make for rough and choppy surf by late next week.
East shore surf will remain small and below the seasonal averages due to a lack of strong trade winds, Some wrap from the northerly swells is possible.
