Swell Summary

A fading small, medium-period south swell is generating small, inconsistent sets along south facing shores and should be even smaller by Thursday. A series of small pulses of south- southwest swells will fill in late Thursday into Friday reviving near average surf along south facing shores.

Long-period energy from a storm that passed within our swell window around New Zealand earlier this week is expected to gradually fill in locally late Friday through the weekend. Wave models have this swell peaking Sunday into Monday that will drive surf heights near or above warning levels. This swell will coincide with the peak monthly tides and will likely lead to significant wave runup and minor coastal flooding during the first half of next week, particularly during the peak daily high tide cycles. South shore surf will remain elevated through much of next week due to the slow decline of this large south swell and a series of more overlapping southerly swells.

East shore surf will slowly decline below seasonal averages through the rest of the week and into the weekend as trades ease. Surf along east facing shores will pick up a notch next week as fresh trades return. No significant swells expected elsewhere.
