.DISCUSSION...
Current northwest (300-320 degree) swell will be followed by a larger
northwest (310-325 degree) swell tonight and could produce surf
heights near the advisory threshold on Wednesday. As this northwest
swell slowly declines Thursday through Saturday, the swell direction
will gradually veer towards the north-northwest (340 degree). A
moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) should gradually
fill in on Sunday and could produce surf near the advisory threshold
Sunday night.
Small, choppy east shore surf will become minimal over the next few
days as trades near and upstream become disrupted by approaching
fronts. Expect minimal background surf for south facing shores, with
a minor south-southwest pulse expected Wednesday afternoon into
Thursday.

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.
