Swell Summary

A declining moderate, medium-period, northwest swell will continue to bring elevated surf to north and west facing shores tonight. This swell and associated surf will continue to slowly fade through the weekend. A new small, medium-period northwest swell arrives on Saturday, leading to a small bump in north and west shore surf on Sunday. For the first half of next week, surf will be small with the lack of any significant northerly swell energy.

A small, long-period south swell should provide a small bump in south shore surf through Saturday. Sunday into next week, background swell energy will keep small surf along south-facing shores.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain below normal this weekend, but will gradually increase through next week as trade winds gradually strengthen.
