.DISCUSSION...
No advisory level surf is expected through the next week. The current
medium period south swell is expected to gradually fade through the
weekend. A mix of small south swells over the next few days will
maintain surf along south facing shores slightly below the seasonal
average. An easterly swell is expected to arrive tonight and persist
through the weekend. This swell is a combination of the short period
trade wind swell, and the medium to long period east swell generated
by Hurricane Genevieve in the East Pacific.
