Swell Summary
The High Surf Warning and Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through Saturday for the recent high northwest swell and resultant elevated seas. Periodic surges within an already large high period swell (upwards to 16 feet within the near 20 second spectral bands) is continuing to produce XL size surf along the better exposed north and west-facing reef and coastlines, along with large significant seas. Seas and surf will have their most dramatic fall through Saturday and be within High Surf Advisory ranges by Sunday morning. A declining swell through early Monday will allow surf and seas to fall below advisory thresholds by late Sunday.
Surf along east-facing shores will steadily lower into the weekend as the remaining northwest-becoming-north swell continues to diminish under light, more variable winds that is a direct result of a vicinity trough or low out west. South-facing shore surf will remain small with mainly background long-period south- southwest swell. Some of the better exposed west-southwest coasts or reef may experience some wrap from this recent large northwest swell passage.
