.DISCUSSION...
Surf along north and west facing shores will start out small then
gradually build later today into Friday as a small to moderate
medium period north northwest swell (330-340) fills in. The swell
will generate surf near to just below advisory level along north and
west facing shores Friday during the peak. A large to extra large,
long period swell (350-360) will quickly build in Saturday that will
likely produce warning level surf along north facing shores with
advisory level surf across west and east facing shores through the
weekend. This swell, aside from being hazardous to small craft, could
generate harbor surges along north facing bays and inlets.
Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny into the weekend
with mainly background energy dominating. A small, long period
south swell may fill in later over the weekend into early next
week and provide a small boost to surf along south facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through today,
but will gradually build Friday over the weekend with the return
of trade wind flow over and upstream of the state and from the
larger northerly swells wrapping into exposed areas.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low
Water (MLLW) datum in feet.
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.
