Swell Direction
Wednesday
11/4
Down some  NE 15 early East windswell from previous days fetch 3.7 ft @ 11 secs
High pressure is to start pushing off the coast generating a short blast of 15-20 kt north winds, but dying before getting much traction on the oceans surface.
4.0 ft 85 degrees
Thursday
11/5
Down NW 25 later  Northeast windswell fading from 2.6 ft @ 10 secs early
A new gale is to start wrapping up off the Northeast coast setting up 25 kt northwest winds later in the day and blowing things flat. Swell from previous fetch is to still be in the water, but loosing ground against the northwest winds pretty quickly. 
2.5 ft   70 degrees
Friday
11/6
Up some NW 25+ early  New north windswell 4.5 ft @ 7-8 secs at exposed north facing breaks
Local north windswell is to build if one is to believe the models while the gale up north builds to  storm status off the Northeast coast generating 50 kt northwest winds aimed mostly offshore. 
3.0 ft  25 degrees
Saturday
11/7
Down  NW 10 early North windswell fading from 3.0 ft @ 8 secs early at exposed north facing breaks
High pressure behind the storm is to continue a short lived fetch of north winds at 20 kts early producing some degree of north windswell. But the high is to push over Cape Hatteras setting up calm winds and dropping windswell. 
2.0 ft 35 degrees
Sunday
11/8
Down  W 15 early  No swell of interest is forecast
High pressure is to continue building over the Northeast generating a dome of calm air over the mid-Atlantic states, offering no fetch for swell production. Calm and flat.  
1 ft or less  ---
Extended
Outlook
Down --- Longterm the models indicate high pressure is forecast to hold solid just off the Northeast Coast into Wednesday (11/11) with calm winds and no swell production locally.  Down south 20 kts east winds and a building core of near 30 kt east winds are forecast further out at sea, but all aimed at the Southeast with no energy expected pushing up into the Mid-Atlantic.
