.DISCUSSION...
A small, moderate period north northwest swell that peaked last night
is coming down this morning and will produce near to slightly above
head high surf along many north-facing shores today. This swell will
gradually decline into the weekend.
A mix of small, medium to long period south swells will maintain
small surf along south-facing shores into the weekend. A series
of gale lows passing south of New Zealand should send small south
swell into the southern waters through next week. Surf should
lift to summer averages around Sunday and this will hold through
Wednesday of next week. Locally moderate to fresh trades will
maintain rough and choppy surf along east-facing shores.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low

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.
