Swell Summary
A large, long period northwest swell (310 degrees) will fill in late Wednesday night, then peak Thursday before gradually trending down Friday into the weekend. This swell will produce warning- level surf along north and west facing shores, albeit smaller than the event this past weekend. This large swell will also elevate seas to above SCA thresholds as it fills in Wednesday night. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy tonight, but expect a downward trend during the second half of the week as winds weaken locally and upstream.
