Swell Summary

North facing shores remains elevated as the northerly swell has peaked over the western islands this early this morning well above guidance as it will peak before day break over the eastern end of the state. The north swell is expected to transition to the north- northeast as the gale- force low associated with the cold front moves northeast. East facing shores will remain small except for areas exposed to the north swell.
