Swell Summary
As the current small northwest swell fades away tonight, A pair of overlapping small, short period north swells should maintain small surf in place along north-facing shores through this weekend. There is the potential for the arrival of a moderate long period north-northwest swell as early as Sunday and likely peaking next Monday, below advisory levels for north facing shores.
The current long period south southwest swell will continue to gradually fade over the next few days. A moderate, long period south swell should slowly fill in Saturday, peak Sunday and hold into Monday then gradually decline through the middle of next week. This swell will may boost surf along south facing shores to near advisory levels during its peak.
