Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west-facing shores will continue ease over the weekend as the current northwest swell fades out. By Tuesday, surf will begin to rise again, with a series of large northwest swells anticipated through the second half of next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough through the weekend but will gradually decrease late Sunday through the upcoming week as the trade winds diminish. Surf along south-facing shores will remain near seasonal averages, influenced by a mix of short-period southeast swells and occasional longer-period background south- southwest swells. Peak monthly tides combined with water levels running higher than predicted could lead to minor coastal flooding issues for vulnerable low-lying coastal areas. The best chance for these impacts will occur during the early morning high tides between midnight and daybreak through the weekend.
