.DISCUSSION...
A multi-day buildup of surf for south facing shores is expected
this week as a series of long period swells fill in. The first
swell is forecast to arrive later today into tonight and peak near
the summertime average tomorrow (5-6 ft). While that swell holds
tomorrow, forerunners from the next much larger well will start to
fill in and peak late Thursday at well over advisory levels (8 to
12 ft) and hold through Friday. The swell will gradually decline
over the weekend and will be followed by another long period
south swell early next week.
East shore surf will trend up over the next few days as strengthening
trade winds generate larger wind waves. Surf along east facing
shores will rise to seasonal average late Wednesday or Thursday
and hold into the weekend, followed by a possible decline early
next week.
Flat summer conditions along north facing shores may be
interrupted this weekend by a small long period northwest swell
from Typhoon Krosa, currently in the western Pacific.

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
