Our current west-northwest is expected over the weekend, building on Saturday. This swell will possibly produce advisory level surf along north and west facing shores. The swell will gradually subside through the weekend.
Pending development of storms, another shot of energy is expected early next week as well, with surf likely well above the advisory level along north and west facing shores. That swell will slowly subside through midweek. A northwest swell arriving next midweek may be larger still when it peaks next Thursday.
Nothing of note out of the SPAC to get excited about.
Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
