Swell Direction

Wednesday
5/14

Down NW-> W 10+

Solid NE swell will continue to impact the coast at around 12-13ft at 12-13s. Wavewatch is still about 1m short on the NDBC 44014 buoy location, so my seas are higher than guidance for the forecast period. Winds drop off and blow more NW early and swing to the W late in the day. So, conditions will be big and cleaning up through the day.

6-8ft 60 degrees

Thursday
5/15

Down SW 10-15

Weaker Low pressure approaches the region later Thursday, and SW winds should dominate the region for the day. NE swell will continue to slowly fall off, ending the day at about 7-8ft at 11-12s.

4-6ft+ 60 degrees

Friday
5/16

Down SW-> W 10-15

Low pressure should exit the coast late Friday, causing winds to swing from SW more towards WNW late. NE swell continues to fade down to about 5ft at 10-11s by dark. Some SW windswell will also linger around at about 5ft at 6-7s.

3-5ft 60/210 degrees

Saturday
5/17

Down W 10-15 Mostly offshore flow for the day with residual NE swell still filtering at about 3-4ft at 10-11s. 2-3ft+ 60 degrees

Sunday
5/18

Down W 10-15 Small surf should show at most breaks across the region as offshore flow continues and minor background swells impact the region. Seas 3ft or less. 1-2ft+

60 degrees

Extended
Outlook
- - ---

Nothing doing through early week. Will update as needed and as more official guidance becomes available.
