Swell Summary
A series of northwest swells generated by a complex gale low system south of the Aleutian Islands will keep surf elevated along north and west facing shores throughout the week. A moderate, medium-period northwest (320-330 degree) swell is running a bit behind guidance, so now expecting it to fill in later this evening through tonight and peak late Tuesday morning. A second, similarly- sized, but slightly longer-period northwest swell is expected to overlap on Tuesday morning. Surf heights are anticipated to peak at or just above advisory levels Tuesday then hold just below advisory levels through Wednesday. A couple of larger northwest swells (310-330 degree) may boost surf well above advisory levels Thursday into Friday. The compounding swells would also likely elevate significant wave heights above small craft thresholds of 10 feet during this time.
An out-of-season, long-period, small south swell will peak today, generating near summertime average surf along south facing shores. then slowly trend down through Wednesday. The next small, long-period south swell is expected slowly fill in during the second half of the week and peak over the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through much of the week.
