Swell Summary

The current north swell will continue to slowly lower through today. A new north swell will build in late tonight, peak near advisory levels Friday before gradually lowering through the weekend. A north-northwest swell is forecast to arrive Saturday night, potentially producing advisory level surf for north facing shores late Sunday through early Monday. An even larger north swell is anticipated around middle of next week.

A small long-period south swell will continue to slowly fill in today, and will boost south shore surf up to around the summertime average through Saturday, before returning to mainly background levels Sunday through early next week.
