Swell Summary

The current northwest swell will gradually decline through the evening before a small short period north-northeast swell will fill in Friday and maintain small surf. A larger, long- period northwest swell will arrive late Saturday and will likely push surf above the High Surf Advisory threshold Sunday into Monday. Surf along south facing shores will slowly rise through this evening, peak Friday just below High Surf Advisory levels, and gradually decline through the weekend. By early next week, surf looks to remain tiny to small through the forecast period. Surf along most east-facing shores will remain small and choppy through today but will rise Friday with the wrapping north to north- northeast swell energy, producing periods of moderate surf. Exposed shorelines to the north swell may be impacted along the east side Sunday night into Monday with the potential for surf to reach High Surf Advisory level surf possible.
