Swell Summary
A large to extra-large long-period west-northwest (310-320 deg) swell will peak above High Surf Warning level criteria late Friday into early Saturday. Observations this Thursday evening at offshore NDBC buoy 51101 reflects long period energy starting to fill in from the northwest, translating to long period forerunners hitting the nearshore PacIOOS buoys early Friday morning. A gradual downward trend will follow over the weekend, with surf potentially dipping below the advisory levels by the end of the weekend. Into the extended forecast, a stretch of elevated surf is expected with overlapping northwest pulses ranging from large to extra-large surf.
Surf along east facing shores will remain elevated through the weekend due to the lingering short-period north-northeast swell.
Surf along south facing shores will see an uptick Friday through the first week of December from the southwest in a series of consecutive pulses, ranging from small to moderate surf with the peak days looking to be next week Monday and Tuesday.
