8/24
WEDNESDAY...surf will be 2-3ft on northern shores out of the north-northeast. the current swell arrived this morning with surf building to the solid 3ft range at spots that enjoy northerly swells. surf will contunue to build slightly larger with some possible overhead sets tomorrow morning. with most swells the larger waves are generally earlier rather than later so i'll time the peak of this swell late tonight or early in the AM. because the storm associated with this episode was very close (800nm) there is the possibility that the swell is arriving as it was made, meaning there was little time for the swell to groom itself out and allow waves to seperate into their appropriate energy bands. translation = the meat of the swell may be around for the day tomorrow and waves may show fluctuation in size and frequency depending on the storm's life-cycle. anyway waves are on the menu for the day. southern shores will drop slightly back to the 1-2ft range and have a general feel of "it's on its way out". winds trades...wow imagine that!
6 days left until september 1st.
