Surfers' delight: Swells all around

Advertiser Staff

The National Weather Service has given a dream forecast for surfers: swells from all directions are expected through Wednesday.

The most significant one will be a northeast swell that may bring near advisory level of 8 feet for the east and northeast facing shores over the weekend and Monday.

Today, surf along north shores will be 4 to 7 feet; surf along west shores will be increasing to 2 to 4 feet; surf along east shores will be 4 to 6 feet with occasional higher sets along exposed northeast facing beaches; and surf along south shores will be increasing to 3 to 4 feet.

A moderate size northwest swell slated for Sunday, lasting into Monday. A series of south swells is also anticipated, with the largest one to arrive early Monday.
