Swell Summary




A long-period northwest swell has begun to fill in producing high surf along exposed north and west facing shores today. Mixed swell with increasing shorter- period north to northeast wind waves, will lead to choppy surf along most windward shores. The northwest swell will become increasingly northerly this evening, with another pulse of mixed- period north to northeast swell arriving Thursday night and Friday leading to another round of high surf along north facing shores. This swell will gradually lower over the weekend.
