Swell Summary
The current south swell will continue to fade while the next pulse of south swell energy arrives tonight, providing a slight boost to south shore surf through midweek. A more significant south swell is expected to begin filling in Thursday night and will likely bring above-advisory-level surf to south-facing shores through the weekend.
Forerunners from a small, long-period northwest swell began filling in along north-facing shores this morning and is expected to peak locally late tonight into Wednesday, raising surf to above- seasonal-average heights before gradually subsiding into the weekend.
Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough through midweek, then gradually lower later in the week as the trades ease.
