Swell Summary

Surf along south-facing shores will gradually decline through the weekend as the small, medium- to long-period energy slowly fades. A moderate, long-period swell generated by a low that passed near Australia and New Zealand is forecast to arrive mid to late week next week and bring a bump to south shore surf.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain small to moderate through early next week, then build slightly over the latter half of the week as the trade winds strengthen and some easterly swell from Norbert potentially moves in. Flat to tiny surf along north facing shores is expected through the forecast period.
