Swell Summary

Surf along south facing shores should see an increase this weekend as a small to moderate, long-period, south southwest swell gradually fills in late Friday into Saturday and peaks late Saturday into Sunday. Surf heights should rise back up to near or above the September average over the weekend then gradually decline next week.

Surf along north facing shores saw a small increase today due to a short-period north swell. This small bump is expected to peak on Friday out of the north to north-northeast direction, followed by a short period north northwest swell this weekend. Moderate to locally strong trades near and upstream of the area will lead to choppy conditions along east facing shores over the next several days. A slight increase of windswell is expected over the weekend due to a fetch of strong winds northeast of the state.
