Outlook through Friday June 01: Surf will remain below advisory levels along all shores through at least the middle of next week. A series of swells from the Tasman Sea will keeping surf along south facing shores near the summertime average through Memorial Day. South-shore surf will build to above-average heights by mid-week.
