Today’s combo of swells has originated from three sources: (1) long period groundswell (just registered 18 seconds at the CdC buoy), from a deep cut off low SW of WA on Tuesday, (2) mid-range swell from the associated front that tracked through the Bight Wed/Thurs, and (3) local windswell from local 20kt NW winds.
