Swell Summary
Afternoon buoy data is still showing 4 to 5 foot, 11 to 14 seconds, north northwest (330-350 degree) swell producing small surf along north facing shores. This swell will continue to slowly subside through Friday. A similar size north swell will reinforce surf heights Friday night into Saturday. The next significant northerly swell (350 degree) will likely arrive late Sunday into early next week and may be large enough to produce advisory level surf along north facing shores.
A south southwest (180-200 degree) swell, will continue to slowly lower through Friday producing small to tiny surf along south facing shores. Long period forerunners of the next long period south swell is poised to trickle in mid- day Thursday and will reinforce south shore surf Thursday night into Friday before gradually trending down over the weekend. Surf along west- facing shores will be influenced by a mixture of both north northwest and south southwest swells. Thus, expect western exposures to remain slightly elevated as well. Expect below normal small east- facing shore chop over the next several days as trade wind flow remains relatively weak locally and upstream.
