Swell Summary
A new pulse of medium- to long-period northwest swell is peaking at the nearshore buoys. This will keep surf elevated along north and west facing shores through this evening, before slowly subsiding Friday through the weekend. Another moderate, long-period northwest (330) swell is modeled to arrive early this weekend bringing similar surf to exposed shores. Surf may approach the advisory threshold during its peak late Saturday into Saturday night.
East-facing shores remain dominated by short-period wind wave through the near term. However, deep low pressure descending from the Gulf of Alaska down the West Coast of the mainland US will generate a moderate to large, medium-period NNE (060) swell that will fill in late this weekend and peak early next week. This will likely drive east shore surf above advisory levels, while north shore surf could approach advisory level.
