Swell Summary

A moderate, medium period north swell will build today and peak on Saturday as it shifts out of the north-northeast, which will keep moderate surf along the north shores through the weekend. A small, overlapping west- northwest swell is expected to arrive late Saturday and hold into Monday. Aside from areas exposed to wrapping north swell, surf along east facing shores will remain well below average through the weekend. Early next week, the development of northeasterly trade winds could bring a potentially larger pulse of medium period north-northeast swell. This will allow rough surf to return to east facing shores, which may approach High Surf Advisory level.

A moderate south swell will slowly diminish today, followed by a small reinforcing south-southwest swell this weekend into Monday. Smaller surf is expected along south facing shores through the remainder of the week.
