North Shore surf may hit 12 feet today

Advertiser Staff

The surf is getting bigger on the North Shore.

The National Weather Service's latest forecast calls for surf along northern shores to increase to 9 feet to 12 feet by late this afternoon. Overnight, the surf has been in the 6- to 9-foot range.

Surf is also increasing along west-facing shores and will be 7 feet to 9 feet later this afternoon.

Surf will be 3 feet or less along east and south shores.

Today's surf along north and west shores is being produced by a northwest swell that could approach advisory levels later tonight or tomorrow morning. This swell will slowly diminish Thursday. A moderate sized south swell arriving late Thursday will continue through Friday, then slowly subside Saturday.
