Swell Summary
Surf will steadily rise along north, west, and south facing shores overnight through Thursday due to a combination of a long-period south-southwest swell and a short-period north-northwest swell expected. Heights will near the advisory level for south facing shores by the end of the day Thursday, with rough conditions expected due to the breezy onshore winds. Surf along north facing shores will linger into Friday, then steadily ease over the weekend. Surf along south facing shores will continue to trend up, with heights likely reaching the advisory level by Friday. A fresh, long-period south-southwest swell will slowly fill in through the day Sunday, which supports the surf continuing through early next week as it peaks.
