Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores is steadily building this morning as a northwest swell fills in. The surf will peak through the day before lowering into the weekend. A fresh, long-period north- northwest (330 deg) swell will arrive Saturday night, peak Sunday, then hold Christmas Day below the advisory levels. For the upcoming week, back-to-back warning-level north-northwest swells are forecast, with the first one peaking Tuesday night and the second one late Thursday through Saturday. Surf along east facing shores will lower this weekend through early next week as the trades ease. Surf along south facing shores will hold above flat levels today, then trend down over the weekend as the background south-southwest swell moves out. A similar south-southwest swell is possible Tuesday night through Wednesday.
