Swell Summary

Surf along east facing shores will remain rough each day through the weekend due to the locally strong east to southeast winds. Heights may approach the advisory level early next week for east facing shores. Surf along north and west facing shores will ease today, then pick up Thursday through the weekend as overlapping small medium period, north-northwest swells arrive and move through. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend with mainly a mix of short-period southeast energy and small background south swells moving through.
