The current medium-period northwest swell will peak this evening then gradually decline and become more more northerly Wednesday night and Thursday. A pair of overlapping small short to medium- period north swells will keep some small surf in place along north facing shores over the weekend. A larger long-period northwest swell could arrive as early as Monday, possibly bring advisory level surf to north and west facing shores early next week.
The current long-period south-southwest swell is currently at its peak. It is expected to hold through Wednesday then gradually decline through Thursday. A new long-period south- southwest swell will gradually fill in Saturday night, then peak with swell heights of near 3 feet Sunday and Monday. This swell will give a late season boost to south shore surf, potentially reaching advisory levels.
