Then on Saturday, a second large to extra large, long period, north to north north west (330-350) swell is forecast to arrive and produce warning level surf along north facing shores with advisory level surf across west and east facing shores through the weekend Surf along south facing shores will remain low through this weekend with mainly background energy dominating.
