.DISCUSSION...
A series of small overlapping medium and long period south
swells will continue for the rest of this week, with surf heights
near the summertime average through Friday along south facing shores.
Surf heights should decrease to background levels by early next week
as the swell energy fades. Another small, long period south swell will
arrive by midweek next week.
Choppy conditions will continue for east facing shores through
the forecast period due to the persistent fresh trades. Surf along
north facing shores will remain nearly flat through next week.
