Swell Summary

A small long period south-southwest swell will slowly build today through this weekend. Surf along south facing shores will likely peak near or just below high surf advisory criteria late Saturday into Sunday. A reinforcing south swell will keep surf elevated along facing shores through early next week.

Surf along exposed east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the forecast period as breezy trades persist.
