Swell Summary

The current large north swell will continue to decrease over the next few days. A mix of a moderate short-period north swell and a small medium period northwest swell should slightly boost north and west shore surf Thursday into Friday, with small surf heights expected for next weekend.

The current long-period south-southwest swell continue to fill in this afternoon and will peak on Tuesday near or slightly above the summer average. This swell should be on its downward trend on Wednesday and surf should return to small mostly background levels from Friday into the weekend.
