Oh, and the swell this week has been killer, with SoCal wave periods (Tp) consistently between 17 and 20 seconds for 4 days.

Swell Analyzer - Alpha release

We've made available the swell analyzer graphs. The graphs present a view of the swell data that the buoys off the coast of SoCal are reporting. Hopefully, this can help us figure out if a swell is on the rise in OC. It's updated every 2 hours. We tested the graph images in the Blackberry browser (widescreen models), and they look fine. You will now know when to leave work early to go surfing :) Check the graphs here (scroll way down).
