Swell Summary
An active period of northwest swells can be expected to begin the New Year. The first of several northwest swells will build tonight, peak on Thursday, then gradually decline Thursday night and Friday. This swell is expected to produce advisory level surf along most north and west facing shores on Thursday. A larger long-period northwest swell is expected to build on Saturday, peak Saturday night and Sunday, then slowly slower Sunday night and Monday. This larger swell will likely bring warning level surf to north and west facing shores. Yet another long-period northwest swell will arrive late Monday, possibly pushing surf back up to warning levels Tuesday, with another reinforcement pushing surf well above warning levels next Wednesday.
Surf along east facing shores will hold mostly steady through Friday, then gradually lower over the weekend, with well below normal surf expected through the first half of next week.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the middle of next week.
