Swell Summary
The current northwest swell will continue to slowly decline through the weekend. A new moderate sized long-period northwest swell will build Monday, peak below advisory levels Monday night and Tuesday, then gradually decline through Wednesday. A medium period northwest swell reinforcement will give north and west shore surf a boost on Thursday. A new long-period northwest swell will then build Thursday night, potentially building surf to warning levels on Friday.
Surf along east facing shores will remain elevated today then gradually decline Sunday through late next week. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend, with only background southerly swells. South shore surf could get rough and choppy Monday through much of next week as south to southwest winds ramp up ahead of a couple passing cold fronts.
