Swell Summary
The current northwest swell will decline slightly through Thursday, followed by a large swell Friday. Long period forerunners will arrive Thursday night, and the swell will produce High Surf Warning conditions across most north and west facing shores during the peak Friday into early Saturday. The swell will gradually decline late Saturday into Monday, followed by a slightly smaller northwest swell next Wednesday.
An out of season south-southwest swell is due Thursday through the weekend. An increase in small inconsistent swell is expected Thursday, followed by a larger pulse arriving Friday. South shore surf is expected to be at or above summertime average during the peak of the swell Friday and Saturday. The swell will gradually decline Sunday and Monday.
East shore surf is already below seasonal average and will decline on Friday as trade winds become disrupted. Rough east shore surf will rebuild Saturday night and Sunday as northeasterly trade winds strengthen, then decline again Monday as winds ease.
