The run of active surf has come to an end and we've got a very slow forecast period ahead. Hopefully more action into the New Year.

The past week of fun waves across the Mid Coast will be a distant memory on the weekend and early next week with the swell bottoming out along with strong winds from the south-eastern quadrant.

A strong high drifting into the Gulf of Alaska towards the west coast is maintaining a firm ridge extending from the coast of British Columbia into the Central North Pacific, with angular spread from the predominant N’ly fetch producing a N/NE swell for Hawaii’s North Shore.

This swell should hold into Xmas Day, offering up potential for some good, albeit inconsistent surf with prevailing W’ly winds.
