Swell Summary
The current northwest (310-320 degree) swell has filled in across the local waters and will gradually build over the next day or so. Surf along north and west-facing shores will rise accordingly and peak Wednesday, before fading Thursday. A north (340-350 degrees) swell is expected to arrive Thursday, with surf building to around High Surf Advisory levels for north and west facing shores as it peaks into the evening. This swell will decline Friday into the weekend. Rough sea conditions can be anticipated along eastern shores in response to strong to near gale force trades over and upstream of the area. Surf heights may even reach advisory levels Friday and Saturday.
