Swell Summary

The current south swell will fade out tonight, followed by a lull in south shore surf into Friday. A mix of small, long-period south swell and a shorter period southeast swell may push shores up near seasonal average during the weekend. As these swells slowly decline early next week, another long-period south-southwest swell is expected to fill in.

Surf along east-facing shores will gradually trend up Thursday through the weekend. Rough surf will increase to around seasonal average late Wednesday or Thursday, followed by a rise above seasonal average this weekend.

Surf along north-facing shores will return to seasonally tiny levels tonight as a small northwest swell fades. Additional very small pulses are possible Thursday and again early next week.
