.DISCUSSION...
The current medium-period north-northwest swell will continue to
slowly fade this evening, maintaining below average levels for this
time of year. The first of two long to medium period overlapping
northwest swell pulses started trickling in earlier this afternoon,
and will gradually build surf along north and west facing shores into
Tuesday. The following bigger pulse will arrive late Tuesday into
Wednesday, further boosting surf heights and possibly reaching
High Surf Advisory levels by Wednesday. Near-average surf heights
will generally hold into Thursday and decline heading into the
weekend.
Choppy east shore surf will remain small and decline for the next
few days as trades ease. Expect minimal background surf for south
facing shores, with only a minor south-southwest pulse expected
Wednesday into Thursday, keeping south shore surf heights just
above flat levels.

Product Legend:
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.
