Swell Summary

A medium period north swell is expected to peak today, bringing advisory level surf to north and east facing shores. The swell will then gradually decline tonight and Saturday. A small long period northwest swell will move through Monday through the middle of next week, with a moderate sized reinforcing northwest swell then arriving late next week giving north and west shore surf a nice boost.

A building northeast swell is expected to fill in Sunday and Sunday night, with surf likely building to advisory levels along east facing shores Monday and Tuesday, with a gradual decline expected Wednesday through late next week. Some wrap into north facing shores will likely occur with this swell as well. South shore surf will remain tiny through the weekend, with a small boost possible Monday through late next week as a small long period south-southwest swell moves through.
