Medium period northwest swell energy will boost surf heights along north and west facing shores today and tonight. Overlapping medium period north swell and long period north-northwest swell energy will move into the region early Friday morning and late Saturday respectively. These swells will keep surf heights elevated along north and west facing shores at least into Sunday.
