Swell Summary

Several pulses of NW swells are expected this week. Although most of the swell energy will be in the shorter-period 12-14 second bands, resultant surf is expected to be near or above High Surf Advisory levels along exposed N and W facing shores at times. Another NW swell Thursday into Friday will likely produce advisory level on Friday. This swell will be followed by another pulse out of the NNW on Saturday.

An out of season long-period S swell is currently producing surf near summertime averages along S facing shores. This current south swell should gradually decline through Thursday. Another long-period S swell is expected by this weekend, but it will likely be a little smaller than the current swell.
