Swell Summary

For N shores, short period remnants of existing NW swell are on the decline today and surf will follow suit as the period continues to shorten and swell size declines. A new small, medium to long period NW swell builds across area waters tonight and quickly peaks during the overnight hours resulting in a brief overnight bump to surf. Energy directed at N facing shores then fades into early next week. A moderate medium to long period swell maintains elevated surf during the middle of next week followed by a large medium period NW swell during the late week period. This latter swell is forecast to peak near the High Surf Warning threshold for N and W facing shores.

Surf along E shores remains small into next week owing to a lack of trades. S shores remain nearly flat in the near term with a small boost from tiny long period energy poised to arrive late Sunday and continuing well into next week.
