Swell Summary

Overlapping significant swell energy will maintain warning level surf heights along exposed north and west facing shores into Thursday.

The current west-northwest (290-310 degree) swell will hold today near HSW levels. This will allow surf heights along most north and west facing shores to briefly drop to marginal warning levels through the day. However, the next significant northwest swell will swiftly build into the region later tonight. This next swell will increase surf heights along north and west facing shores once again, building surf heights well above warning levels through Tuesday. Beginning late Tuesday afternoon, the next largest of these overlapping swells will quickly build into the region, bringing significant and dangerous surf along north and west facing shores. This swell will peak by Wednesday morning and then begin slowly declining back below warning levels late Thursday. Surf heights along east and south facing shores will remain small through the forecast period.
