Swell Summary

A moderate northwest swell will decline late tonight and Wednesday, allowing surf to fall below seasonal average along north- and exposed west-facing shores. This swell will fade by Thursday. A small, short- period north-northeast swell will persist through much of the week, and may even become moderate Thursday and Friday with the arrival of reinforcing energy from the northeast. A larger long-period northwest swell will arrive late Saturday and may push surf above the high surf advisory threshold Sunday and Monday.

A series of overlapping south-southwest swells will continue through the weekend. The current swell is producing south shore surf near seasonal average, and additional pulses on Wednesday and Friday could produce above average surf.

Surf along most east-facing shores will be small through the first half of the week, but areas exposed to wrapping north to north- northeast swells will experience periods of moderate surf. A moderate northeast swell is possible Thursday and Friday.
