Swell Summary
Current northwest (300-320 degree) swell will be followed by a larger northwest (310-325 degree) swell filling in tonight and peaking during the day Wednesday. Latest buoy readings from buoy 51001 and 51101 are starting to show some new energy in the 16 to 17 second energy bands, but seem to be running below guidance so far. Thus, we have held off on issuing a High Surf Advisory for north and west facing shores for now. We will continue to monitor the latest buoy readings and we are still expecting surf near the High Surf Advisory threshold on Wednesday. As this northwest swell slowly declines Wednesday night, a reinforcing swell from the north- northwest is expected on Thursday. These swells will slowly decline into the weekend. Another moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) should gradually fill in on Sunday and could produce surf near the advisory threshold by Sunday evening.
Small, choppy east shore surf will become minimal over the next few days as trades near and upstream become disrupted by approaching fronts. Expect minimal background surf for south facing shores, with a minor south-southwest pulse expected Wednesday afternoon into Thursday.
