Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores will steadily decline through the weekend. A new small, long-period south swell, originating from a large fetch of gale force winds southeast of New Zealand earlier this week, is expected to slowly fill in Sunday evening and peak Monday through Wednesday. This will push surf to slightly above seasonal averages for the first half of next week.

A small bump in surforecast to arrive beginning Sundaf along north-facing shores will decrease today as a small, short period north swell fades. Another small bump in north shore surf is possible early next week as a small, medium-period northwest swell arrives late Sunday and peaks on Monday. This will be followed by a slightly larger long-period northwest swell peaking on Wednesday, giving a good boost to north shore surf for mid-week. Surf along east facing shores will increase and become more choppy through tonight as easterly trades build back into the region.
