Swell Summary
The northeast swell will continue to diminish through Friday. Surf heights along north and west facing shores will continue to slowly decline today as the current northwest (310 deg) swell diminishes. Models show another moderate northwest (310-320 deg) swell moving into the region Friday into the weekend, though it appears to be running a bit late. Surf heights could approach advisory levels late Friday afternoon or evening for exposed north and west facing shores, but will monitor the swell as it arrives at the offshore buoys tonight. This swell will decline through the first half of next week. Wave guidance is indicating the potential for an extra large, long- period northwest (320 deg) swell arriving around next Thursday, with the potential for surf well above warning levels along exposed north and west facing shores. This situation will be closely monitored over the next several days.
Expect small background south swell pulses to continue through the middle of next week. A small, long-period south (200-220 deg) swell with Tasman Sea origins may produce a slight bump in south shore surf from Friday through Sunday.
