Swell Summary
Surf along north-facing shores will steadily fade through the second half of the week as a NNW swell moves out. A small, medium- period pulse is possible over the weekend and into early next week, which should be enough to prevent the surf from going flat. An upward trend is possible late next week due to the aforementioned gale forming northeast of the state from Monday through midweek. Surf along south- facing shores will remain small, with mainly a mix of short-to medium- period SSE and SSW swells moving through. The next small, long-period SW swell is expected over the weekend with a similar pulse arriving early next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain small and choppy each day through the weekend, then trend down as the trades ease locally and upstream early next week.
