.DISCUSSION...A series of rather impressive long period northwesterly
swells will affect the waters through the forecast period and bring
periods of high surf conditions. A moderate to large, long-period,
northwest (320-340 degree) swell will quickly fill in this morning and
peak tonight into Thursday morning, then slowly ease. This swell is
expected to bring high surf to exposed north and west facing beaches
through at least early Friday morning.
This seasons first extra large, long period, northwest (310-320
degree) swell is poised build across the local waters Saturday, peak
Saturday night into Sunday, then lower through early next week. This
swell would bring surf well above warning levels for exposed north and
west facing shores late this weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the
weekend due to the lighter winds. Expect mainly tiny surf along
south facing shores with minor background energy.

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.
