Swell Summary

The current north-northwest swell will gradually lower through Saturday. Another north-northwest swell arriving Sunday may produce a modest bump in surf along exposed north and west facing shores from late this weekend through Monday, before it gradually fades on Tuesday. A series of swells originating in the Southern Hemisphere will likely produce surf heights above the October average along south facing shores into early next week. The current long-period south-southwest swell will likely be reinforced later today, and again on Saturday. Another south swell may arrive Sunday, and persist into Tuesday. Surf will likely remain small along east facing shores into early next week .
