Swell Summary

Long period energy associated from the northwest swell (320 degrees) has reached offshore buoys late last night as early forerunners are expected through the day. The initial surge of long period energy will fill in today before extra- large reinforcements will cause a sharp rise in the swell height tonight into early Friday morning.

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 due to decreasing wind speeds, however locations exposed to northwest swell may still be impacted.

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.
