Swell Summary
Swell out of the NW quadrant remains small through Friday. Medium period, moderate NW (310-320) swell then builds during Saturday and is forecast to peak shy of High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria on Sunday before subsiding early next week. Overlapping with this NW swell will be a series of medium period small to moderate pulses out of the NNE (010-030) associated with the strong storm off the US Pacific Northwest coast, the first of which begins building into area waters tonight. This swell is likewise forecast to peak shy of HSA criteria for N facing shores, though marginal HSA potential will be worth monitoring for susceptible NE facing exposures Saturday through Sunday. Short period fresh trade wind swell and wind waves subside in concert with weakening trades.
