.DISCUSSION...Surf along south facing shores will gradually build
tomorrow through Saturday as a long period south-southwest swell is
expected to fill in, producing near seasonal average surf through the
weekend before declining early next week. Another long-period south-
southwest swell is expected to arrive Wednesday into Thursday,
bringing more near seasonal average surf to south facing shores.
East shore surf will remain near seasonal average through the weekend
as trade winds persist, then gradually decline into midweek as the
trades weaken slightly.
Tiny surf will prevail along north facing shores through early next
week. A small to moderate medium period northwest swell will arrive
late Wednesday into Thursday of next week, bringing above seasonal
average surf.

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
