Swell Summary

Surf along north-facing shores will steadily fade through the second half of the week as a north-northwest swell moves out. A small, medium-period swell is possible over the weekend and into early next week, which should be enough to prevent the surf from going flat. An upward trend is possible late next week. Surf along south- facing shores will remain small, with mainly a mix of short- to medium-period south-southeast and south-southwest swells moving through. The next small, long-period southwest swell is expected over the weekend, with a similar pulse arriving early next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain small and choppy each day through the weekend, then trend down as the trades ease locally and upstream early next week. Peak monthly tides could lead to minor coastal flooding in the typical low-lying vulnerable areas around or just before daybreak each day through the weekend, beginning on Friday morning.
