Swell Summary
A small, medium period, NNE (360-020) swell has filled in today and will increase modestly in size prior to peaking on Saturday in support of small surf along N facing shores A moderate, medium period pulse from the same source is expected Saturday along with a similar size overlapping NW swell (320 degrees) which will build on Saturday and peak during Sunday. These combined swells will elevate surf along N and W facing shores just shy of High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria on Sunday before subsiding early next week. Surf along east facing shores will see some energy from the northeasterly swell wrap today into the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will become more elevated over the weekend, especially Saturday into to Sunday as the swell peaks and shifts more easterly, wrapping into exposed areas.
