Swell Summary

Overlapping WNW to NNW swells will produce surf slightly below the High Surf Advisory threshold for exposed N and W facing shores through Friday. A sharp downward trend for N shore surf is anticipated during the weekend followed by a large NW swell late Monday night and Tuesday. E shore surf remains below the seasonal average through the week. Surf along S shores remains very small through the period.
