Swell Summary
The current moderate long period northwest swell will see a slight increase through the morning hours before slowly declining Thursday. Reinforcement pulses of moderate, medium- to long- period northwest swells are expected over the next couple of days to keep surf elevated. A moderate sized, long- period northwest swell looks to fill in Saturday into Sunday with peak surf heights potentially reaching High Surf Advisory levels. A small to moderate medium period north- northeast swell is possible late this weekend into early next week.
