Swell Summary

A large, short period north swell will peak today, hold into tonight before steadily declining tomorrow into the weekend.

A series of moderate, long-period south swells will keep south facing shore surf elevated tonight through Saturday. Most surf along east facing shores will be from north swell wrap through the week. Moderate, choppy east shore surf will likely return over the weekend and persist into early next week.
