7/7
THURSDAY...current swell to hold for the day with possible forerunners of new swell later in the day. buoy heights and energy are showing long period low energy ground swell typical for this time of the year. with model heights forecasting 1 meter ground swell for the next 24hrs, the call is for constant 3ft swell for the day tomorrow. the swell is the product of typical new zealand swells that originate off the eastern coast of new zealand and result in low frequnecy ground swells. this is the general pattern for our summertime south swells. on the horizon however is a slightly larger swell that may show up tomorrow evening with forerunners in the 17-20 second energy band. these scouts often move ahead of the pack due to their larger wave periods resulting in faster travel speeds. tomorrow afternoon may see infrequent sets in the 3-4ft range, but the main swell won't begin filling in until frday afternoon. winds will be strong trades again.
