.DISCUSSION...
Surf along north and west-facing shores will remain very small during
the next 7 days. Surf along south-facing shores will hold at
background levels through today. A series of small south and south-
southwest swells will give a small boost to south shore surf Sunday
with a further boost up to the seasonal average possible during the
middle to latter part of next week.

Surf along east-facing shores will hold close to seasonal normals
during the next 7 days.

Product Legend:

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.
