Swell Summary
The current northwest swell will decline slightly today, followed by significant swell swiftly building in above warning levels on Friday. Long period forerunners will arrive by tonight, and the swell will produce High Surf Warning conditions across most north and west facing shores during the peak from Friday through Saturday.
An out of season south swell will arrive later today and last through the weekend. An increase in small inconsistent swell will start this morning, followed by a larger more consistent energy pulse arriving on Friday. South shore surf will rise slightly above summertime average levels during the peak of the swell from Friday to Saturday. This swell will gradually decline on Sunday and Monday.
East shore surf will remain small as trade winds become disrupted. Rough east shore surf will rebuild Saturday night and Sunday as northeasterly trade winds strengthen, then decline again early next week as trade winds ease.
