Swell Summary

A new small to moderate, medium period northwest will peak today, then gradually lower through Saturday. A new moderate, long period northwest swell will start to fill in Saturday, peak near advisory levels on Sunday, then slowly subside Monday. A new north-northwest reinforcing swell is forecast to arrive Monday night, and could push surf up above the advisory threshold Tuesday and Wednesday. Expect choppy conditions along south facing shores due to persistent southerly winds mixed with small, long period south swells during the next couple days. Less choppy conditions can be expected over the weekend. Surf along east facing shores is expected to hold near seasonal levels during the next couple days, then lower below average over the weekend into early next week. Strengthening trade winds could boost east shore surf up above seasonal levels around the middle of next week.
