Swell Summary
Nearshore buoys indicate energy spread throughout the wave spectrum but most heavily concentrated in the long period bands in support of borderline High Surf Advisory conditions for S facing shores this afternoon. The advisory remains in effect through tonight but may warrant an extension through Sunday conditional on overnight observations.
Locally strong trades support rough surf along E shores slightly above the seasonal average through tonight. As trade wind swell declines with diminishing trades, a long period swell from Hurricane Fausto arrives tonight then builds through Sunday and Monday, peaking late Tuesday into Tuesday night. This swell is forecast to produce advisory-threshold surf along E facing shores as early as Sunday night followed by potential for warning-level surf as it peaks on Tuesday. After a brief lull mid-week, a medium to long period E swell emanating from TC Genevieve in the E Pac will build Thursday night into the weekend.
Surf along N shores remains flat to tiny through the weekend. Some increase is expected as Fausto or its remnants pass over the region Tuesday and Wednesday.
