Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will hold steady below advisory levels today, then rapidly build and exceed warning levels late tonight through Wednesday as the largest swell of the season arrives. The swell will begin out of the northwest, then shift out of the north northwest (340 degrees) direction through the day Thursday. As this northerly swell eases into the weekend, a new northwest swell begin to build, potentially reaching warning levels for exposed north and west facing shores by late Sunday. Surf along south facing shores will remain at background levels through the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain small, except for areas exposed to northerly swells.
