Swell Summary
A small northwest swell will continue to slowly fade into tomorrow morning, allowing surf along north and west facing shores to remain near or below average levels for this time of year (6 feet for the month of May). By Thursday, a moderate long period north- northwest swell is expected to arrive, producing surf above the seasonal average. This north-northwest swell will slowly decline over the weekend.
A bump up in south-southwest swell energy will arrive tomorrow, peak Thursday producing moderate surf, and then slowly fade through the weekend. However, a mix of reinforcing south-southwest swell and new south-southeast swell energy will arrive this weekend and should help maintain surf near or above the summer average (5 feet). Then another pulse of south-southwest swell energy will arrive early next week.
Weak upstream trade wind flow will keep surf on the small side for east facing shores. An increase is expected by tomorrow as the trade winds return. Trade winds should strengthen through Friday with rough and choppy surf expected along east facing shores through the weekend.
