.DISCUSSION...
A small northwest (320 degree) swell will linger today, while
gradually shifting out of a more northerly direction (330-340
degree). A small to moderate, medium- period north-northwest swell
(340-350 degree) may arrive tonight, peak Monday then slowly fade into
Wednesday, providing a boost in surf for north and some exposed west
facing shores. In the long range, a series of small, long- period
northwest (310-330 degree) swells look to keep surf from going flat
for north and west facing shores Tuesday through much of next week.
Expect choppy surf along east facing shores through early next
week. East shore surf may pick up a notch or two by midweek as
wind speeds increase locally and upstream. A tiny bump in south
shore surf will fade today. A small boost in surf may start as
early as Monday night as series of small, long period south swells
move through the state through the upcoming week.

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.
