Swell Summary
Southerly swells from Hurricane Lowell will keep surf elevated above High Surf Advisory conditions through Saturday. A large, medium- period east swell is filling in from Hurricane Karina producing advisory level surf along east facing shores.
The swell from Lowell will gradually veer from south to southwest early next week. While the forecast for swells and seas for next week will highly depend on the eventual track and intensity of Lowell, confidence is beginning to increase for the potential of extra- large surf (exceeding warning levels) along south and western exposures early next week. Coinciding also with monthly high tides, this will create the potential for impacts to harbor entrances, channels, as well as coastal properties and infrastructure including roadways.
