Swell Summary
The current north swell (360-010 degrees) is still produce surf and seas near to just below advisory level. The swell is expected to slowly trend down today into Thursday. An extra large, long period (17-20 seconds) northwest (320 degrees) swell is on schedule to arrive Thursday. This swell will peak Thursday night into Friday, producing dangerously large surf for north and west facing shores, that will warrant a High Surf Warning.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy for the next day or so, due to the combination of breezy trade winds and the decreasing north swell wrapping into exposed locations. Less choppy conditions are expected later in the week as wind speeds relax, however locations exposed to north swell wrap will still see elevated surf due to the extra large northwest swell mentioned above.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the rest of week. The next small, long- period south- southwest swell is expected to fill in over the weekend, keeping surf from going flat.
