Swell Summary
A slowly diminishing moderate size, short period northeast (30-40 degree) swell that popped in yesterday will maintain chest to near head high surf along many north and northeast-facing shorelines through the day. A small, medium period northwest (320 degree) swell is scheduled to arrive later today as it has not shown up at the far northwest offshore buoys before sunrise. This swell is forecast to fill in through tonight and peak on Saturday. This swell will hold waist to near head high surf along many north-facing shores, near knee to waist high surf along west-facing shores Saturday. East-facing shores will experience continued choppy conditions through today in response to several days of an upstream fresh trade fetch. Surf along east-facing shores will slowly subside going into this weekend as trades fall off a notch. Small, background south swell energy will maintain knee to chest high surf along many southern shores. A very small, medium period south southwest bump in swell arriving this morning will result in a small boost in weekend surf.
