Swell doesn't equal waves

Looking a big sick this morning (bad sick not good sik). The swell has picked up (0.6 on the channel marker) but there are no waves locally.

The super high tides have continued and the swell is just marching over the reef and dumping on the shore. With a touch of north in the swell, a southerly drift and a wind from the south but with a touch of east the ocean is more than a little confused.

It might clean up a little later but more likely it will just turn fully onshore.
