Swell Summary

The current moderate sized north-northwest swell has peaked and will hold through today, with a slow decline and a shift to a more northerly direction tonight through the middle of next week. A new moderate sized north- northeast swell is forecast to build Wednesday night, giving a nice boost to north and east shore surf Thursday with a steady decline to follow Thursday night into next weekend.

A series of south and south-southeast swells will keep south shore surf relatively steady through late next week, at or slightly below the summertime average.
