Swell Summary
The current moderate, long period NW swell peaked yesterday evening into early this morning and will now steadily subside through the remainder of the week. Another moderate, long period NW (330) swell is modeled to arrive early this weekend bringing similar surf to exposed shorelines. Surf may approach the advisory threshold during its peak late Saturday into Saturday night. East- facing shores remain dominated by short period wind wave through the near term. However, deep low pressure descending from the Gulf of Alaska down the West Coast of the mainland US will generate a moderate, medium period NNE (060) swell that will fill in late this weekend and peak early next week.
