.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate, medium period, northwest swell (310-330)
will continue to slowly decrease tonight. A series of northwest
to north- northwest (310-340 degree) swells are expected during
the second half of the week, with each pulse becoming slightly
bigger with each passing day. The first pulse, a medium period
northwest swell, will begin to fill in on Wednesday, and generate
surf just below advisory levels. A slightly larger and longer
period pulse is expected on Thursday out of the northwest followed
by a slightly larger northwest on Friday. Surf heights should
exceed advisory thresholds Thursday through through Friday, with
the peak approaching warning levels late Thursday into Friday.
East shore surf will remain small through Wednesday due to weak
winds, then become choppier by Thursday as trade winds increase from
Thursday through the weekend. Expect minimal background energy for
south facing shores through much of the week.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
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.
