.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate, medium period, west northwest swell
(300-320 degree) will hold steady this morning. A reinforcing,
slightly larger and slightly longer period, northwest swell (320-340)
is forecast to arrive this afternoon, peak tonight into early Friday,
then ease into the weekend. This second pulse may bump surf up just
enough to breach High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria along exposed north
and west facing beaches during its peak. The residual small to
moderate northwest swell will continue veering to the north northwest
through the remainder of the weekend and into early next week and
bring below average surf for December for north and west facing
shores.
East shore surf will remain small this morning due to weak winds,
then become larger and choppier by this afternoon through Friday
as trade winds increase. Expect minimal background energy for
south facing shores through much of the week.

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.
