A strengthening surface ridge will remain in place across southern British Columbia and NE Washington State into Tuesday providing low level offshore flow. A dissipating front will move into area waters around midweek producing little impact. High pressure will then rebuild over the region Thursday before a front arrives on Friday. A long period westerly swell has moved into the coastal waters this morning and interacted with a more dominant, shorter period wave group. This could continue to bring a period of confused seas to the coastal waters this morning before the swell becomes the more dominant wave group. Latest observations show seas generally persisting at 7 to 9 feet at 17 to 20 seconds. Seas over portions of the coastal waters will also build towards 10 feet by tonight and again near midweek. 27/14 (Issued: 827 AM PST Mon Jan 6 2025 by NOAA)
