Swell Summary

The current moderate, medium period, west northwest swell (300-320 degree) will hold steady this morning. A reinforcing, slightly larger and slightly longer period, northwest swell (320-340) is forecast to arrive this afternoon, peak tonight into early Friday, then ease into the weekend. This second pulse may bump surf up just enough to breach High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria along exposed north and west facing beaches during its peak. The residual small to moderate northwest swell will continue veering to the north northwest through the remainder of the weekend and into early next week and bring below average surf for December for north and west facing shores.

East shore surf will remain small this morning due to weak winds, then become larger and choppier by this afternoon through Friday as trade winds increase. Expect minimal background energy for south facing shores through much of the week.
