Swell Summary
The extra-large northwest (310-320) swell that peaked well above guidance last night continues to slowly decline this afternoon. However, the swell appears to still be producing borderline warning- level surf along north and west facing shores. As the swell continues to decline, surf should drop to advisory levels by early Sunday, and finally to sub-advisory levels by the end of the weekend.
Looking ahead to next week, a stretch of elevated north and west shore surf is expected, produced by overlapping northwest pulses ranging from large to potentially extra-large, with the first arriving Tuesday and a larger one peaking Wednesday into Thursday. Surf along east facing shores will remain slightly elevated through the rest of the weekend due to the lingering short-period north-northeast swell. Early next week, surf along east facing shores will remain small. Surf along south facing shores will see an uptick heading into next week from a series of consecutive southwest pulses. This will result in small to moderate surf, peaking Monday and Tuesday.
