Swell Summary
The current moderate long-period northwest swell peaked this morning and is on the decline. Latest surf obs and buoy reports indicate both the surf and combined seas have dropped below advisory levels and will continue to lower over the next couple of days. A large long-period northwest swell is expected to build Friday into Saturday with warning-level surf possible. A medium- period northwest swell is forecast to fill in during the first half of next week, keeping surf heights elevated over the remainder of the forecast period.
Surf along south facing shores will remain very small through Wednesday. A moderate long-period south swell is expected to fill in Thursday, peak Friday near advisory levels, then slowly ease over the weekend. Surf long east facing shores will slowly decline through the end of the week. A small north swell could potentially elevate surf along exposed shorelines Wednesday and Thursday.
