A pair of overlapping south swell will keep south shore surf near low end advisory levels today. The swell will hold near or just below advisory levels tonight and Monday, then gradually lower through the middle of the week. South shore surf will fall back below the summertime average Thursday through next weekend, with only small south and south-southwest swells rolling through.
