Swell Summary

An ongoing small, short to medium period northwest north swell has reached its peak, will hold today and then begin the gradual decline tonight into Thursday. A pair of overlapping small, short to medium period north swells will keep small surf in place along north-facing shores this weekend. There is the potential for the arrival of a larger long period northwest swell Monday and Tuesday from late week gales in association with a Gulf of Alaska frontal passage. As of now, this swell will generate surf that will likely be below High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria.

The current near 2 foot, long period south southwest swell peaked early this morning and will hold through this afternoon before declining late this evening. A new and larger, long period more southerly swell originating from gales east southeast of New Zealand is timed to fill in Saturday night or early Sunday, peak Sunday and then hold into Monday. This swell will provide a sizable late season boost to south shore surf, potentially pushing surf to near HSA levels.
