.DISCUSSION...
The current fading medium period northwest swell combined with a few
short period pulses from the north-northeast will maintain surf below
the October average along north-facing shores through most of the
week. A small, medium period northwest swell will bring a slight
uptick in surf heights on Saturday, but will be quickly overshadowed
by the next, more significant moderate, long period northwest (320
degree) swell that is expected to arrive by mid day Sunday and last
through early to mid next week. During its peak, surf along north-
facing shores may approach High Surf Advisory criteria.
Background south-southwest swell energy will bring tiny to small
surf along south-facing shores through most of the week. A small,
long period south-southwest (190-200 degree) swell will fill in
Thursday morning and bring a slight increase to surf along south-
facing shores through late Friday, followed closely by a small,
long period southwest (220 degree) swell over the weekend.
Below average surf along east-facing shores is expected for the
remainder of this week as weak flow prevails. There will be a
slight boost by this weekend as trades return. In addition, a
small, medium to long period easterly swell from Tropical Cyclone
Priscilla in the East Pacific is forecast to arrive Saturday into
Sunday.

Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach along a
coastline. Surf larger than the upper end of the range provided in
the forecast will occur periodically, sometimes up to a few hours
apart. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near the surf zone,
with rip current strength increasing with surf size. Swimmers are
urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a
lifeguard.
