Swell Summary
Rough and choppy surf will prevail along east facing shores the next several days. A new, medium- to long-period north-northwest swell will peak near 4 feet today, then gradually diminish Sunday. Another relatively small, moderate-period northwest swell is expected Monday and Tuesday.
Pulses of south swell will arrive on-and-off through the next week. The first of these long-period south swells is expected to arrive later this weekend and early next week, with peak surf heights remaining below High Surf Advisory heights, although later swells may be large enough to warrant a High Surf Advisory.
