.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores will remain above average over the
next couple of days as a long period SSW swell holds relatively
steady. This swell will then gradually fade heading into mid
week. A slightly smaller, long-period south-southwesterly swell
will fill in late this week into next weekend generated by a
series of lows near New Zealand. West facing shores will
experience a bit of the southerly wrap through most of the week.
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 will see a slight
bump Tuesday into Wednesday as a small, medium-period northwest
swell fills in from an Aleutian low. Then a small, long-period
west-northwest swell expected to be generated by Tropical Storm
Dujuan as it curves northeast near Japan and potentially
strengthens into a hurricane will build locally Friday into next
weekend, increasing surf along north and west facing shores.

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
