Offshore energy

 

 

Big swell today (12 November 2026), apparently from some hurricane force winds offshore.

 

These are very powerful waves, so it's an important time to be careful if you're at the coast.  The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning through Sunday morning.

 

 

 

Moon light?

Swell and spindrift

  

Long period northwest swell was in the 10-13 foot range at the offshore buoy today (7 November 2026).  

Sharing a couple of photos with some nice end-of-the-day light.  (You can click on the photos for larger versions.)
