Swell Summary

An extra-large NW swell has been slowly diminishing through the day, though significant wave heights are in the 12 to 14 foot range and surf is holding just above warning levels this afternoon. Due to the very slow decline so far today, have decided to extend the High Surf Warning through tonight. This swell is expected to rapidly decline late tonight/early Saturday morning, dropping surf to advisory levels for Saturday. A new, large, medium- to long-period north swell is expected to arrive Saturday night into Sunday, pushing surf heights close to warning levels again along north facing shores. This swell will gradually diminish Monday and Tuesday. A moderate, medium-period northwest swell is possible Wednesday and Thursday.
