.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores will remain up through early next
week due to expected overlapping, long-period south-southwest
swells. The first swell will peak tonight through Friday, likely
reaching advisory level. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect
for south facing shores through Friday. Expect rough conditions
for most south exposures through this period due to a combination
of the onshore winds, swell, and periodic heavy showers moving
through. As this swell slowly eases over the weekend, a fresh,
long-period south-southwest swell will begin to fill in through
the day Sunday. This will peak early next week before easing
through midweek. Ongoing short-period northwest swell will keep
surf along north and west facing shores below advisory thresholds.
This swell will linger into Friday, then ease through the
weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain well below
average through the weekend. An upward trend is possible next week
as the trades return locally and far upstream over the eastern
Pacific.
