Swell Summary
Surf along north facing shores will trend up beginning later today as a fresh medium-period north-northwest swell arrives. This will be a long-lived event, with a peak expected to reach the advisory level over the weekend. Surf will gradually lower early next week as this late season northerly swell moves out. Surf along south facing shores will remain up through early next week due to a small south-southeast swell moving through. Surf along east facing shores will remain small each day due to the weak trades.
