Swell Summary
The current south southwest swell appears to have peaked and is expected to hold surf heights around the summer average (5 feet) today before gradually subsiding tomorrow. Background surf is expected along south facing shores from Thursday into Friday. A small, long- period south- southwest swell will arrive this weekend providing a slight increase in surf heights. A small south- southeast (160-170 degree) swell is possible early next week.
Near to just below average choppy surf along east facing shores should hold through most of the week. Surf is expected to drop well below average over the weekend.
The current small west-northwest swell will provide a slight boost in surf heights along most exposed north and west facing shores today. This swell will fade overnight into tomorrow. Expect small, background summertime surf along north facing shores from tomorrow through next weekend.
