Swell Summary

Short period northerly swells will keep surf small along north facing shores this weekend. A short lived small, short to medium period northeast swell is expected late Saturday through Sunday afternoon which will give east facing shores a slight bump on Sunday. Expect 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. This swell could linger through the middle of next week as it slowly fades.

Very little in the way of southern swell expected through Saturday morning. A moderate, long period south swell is forecast to slowly fill in Saturday, peak Sunday and hold into Monday then gradually decline through the middle of next week. This swell may boost surf along south facing shores to near advisory levels during its peak.
