Swell Summary
A long-period N swell will rapidly build tonight, then gradually diminish Friday. Additionally, a powerful low passing north of the islands will produce a wide range of swells with directions ranging anywhere from the SW to NNE, with the largest pulse being a NW swell that will build on Friday. The locally generated wind waves that are making for sloppy surf along south and west facing shores will linger through Friday. Another N swell will arrive Sunday and peak Monday, producing high surf along north facing shores. A couple moderate sized WNW swells are also expected, a smaller one this weekend, and a slightly larger one from Monday into Wednesday with the peak on Tuesday.
