.DISCUSSION...
The current medium-period south-southeast swell producing above
average surf along south-facing shores will continue to gradually
fade over the next few days, allowing surf to diminish somewhat this
afternoon after this morning`s bump in south shore surf. Offshore
buoys are showing an increase in 23 second energy this morning as
forerunners from the next notable incoming south swell slowly fill in
throughout the day today. This will allow surf to increase again
tonight into Thursday and peak above advisory thresholds late Thursday
into Friday. Over the weekend, reinforcing long-period swell energy
may allow advisory level surf to persist.
Surf along east-facing shores will gradually increase over the
next several days as the trades strengthen. This weekend, larger surf
generated by Hurricane Fausto is possible and could bring advisory
level surf along east facing shores. Surf along north-facing shores
will remain at flat to tiny levels through the weekend.

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
