Swell Summary

A moderate size, long period northwest swell moving in this morning has come in a little higher than guidance suggested while its timing is on point. This 4 to 5 foot swell, near 17 second swell will lift surf from chest to slightly over head high along many north-facing shores through Sunday afternoon. A similar size, medium period northwest swell will come in late Sunday into early Monday. This reinforcing northwest swell will result in a slight boost to already elevated early week north and west-facing shore surf through Tuesday. A small, long period south swell that arrived this morning will bump south-facing shore surf up to around chest high this weekend. This swell will keep this seasonable south surf in place through Monday. Lighter weekend trades will allow for relatively lower eastern exposure wind wave chop.
