Swell Summary

Small surf will persist along north shores through early Saturday. A moderate, medium-period north-northwest swell will build late Saturday and produce surf around seasonal average during its peak on Sunday. As this swell declines on Monday, a long-period northwest swell will arrive. This swell will generate moderate surf along north- and west-facing shores through Wednesday. A small north- northeast swell will be possible during the second half of next week.

Small background level surf will prevail along south-facing shores into early Saturday. A series of small overlapping south-southwest swells will push surf back to around seasonal average late Saturday into early next week. A larger south-southwest swell is possible Thursday and next Friday.

Along east-facing shores, wind swell energy will be low through much of the week, but a small medium-period northeast swell will maintain small surf through tonight. Surf along most east facing shores will be small through early next week, but areas exposed to wrapping northerly swells will experience periods of moderate surf late Saturday through Monday and again during the second half of next week.
