Today we have a substantial swell in that will remain with us through Saturday. The swell will build today and peak tomorrow. Swell waves are the regular longer period waves generated by distant weather systems - think of a rock thrown in a pond, and you'll see swells. A bigger storm, or rock, bigger swells. Swells are very strong moving waves with definite frequency periods.
Here is a link to a great site that will help with the forecast. Surfline says that tomorrow we will see 10 foot surf with occasional 12 foot waves. This is pretty solid stuff. Tomorrow I'll post some pictures of the surfers but today I wanted this image to remind us all that even a bit of water for those not familiar with it can be amazing and very exciting.
