chocolate waty
TUESDAY...surf is going to come up on northern shores as a new northwest swell fills in later tonight. buoy 1 is showing signs of energy as of this writing and models are pointing to a rise in open ocean hights of near 4ft. a storm formed far to the north and west late friday night and into saturday near the kamchatka islands. the system moved east-northeast and hugged the aleutian islands and as it did a captured fetch was set up. at its strongest point open ocean waveheights of near 25 maxed out on sunday. with the travel distance of over 2000nm and only moderate swell heights this swell will be relatively small by north shore standard. the call is for surf to build overnight to the 3-5ft range out of 325deg with some larger sets at select spots. winds will likely be dropping as yet another front moves through so expect rain and more chocolate waty.
