Surf along south facing shores will become rough and choppy later today through Wednesday due to strong south winds, then quickly lower Thursday as the winds diminish. Surf along north and west facing shores will rise as a medium period west-northwest swell arrives Wednesday. As a this source moves out, a long-period northwest swell forecast to arrive Friday night into Saturday will peak over the weekend. A long-period south swell expected will lead to rising surf over the weekend.
