.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores will remain above average through early
this week as a long period SSW swell holds relatively steady for the
next couple of days. This swell will then fade during the middle of
the week, but will be followed by another small southerly swell
shortly thereafter. West facing shores will experience a bit of the
southerly wrap.
Breezy trade winds will maintain moderate surf along east facing shores
for the next several days. Surf along north facing shores will remain flat
to tiny through Monday, but could see a bump Tuesday into Wednesday.
A small, long period west northwest swell will then build later in
the week, increasing surf along north and west facing shores a bit
more Friday into next weekend.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
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.
