.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores will remain up through early next
week due to expected overlapping, long-period south-southwest
swells. The first swell will peak today, then linger through
Saturday, likely hovering around the advisory level. Expect rough
conditions for most southern exposures today due to a combination of
the onshore winds, swell, and periodic heavy showers moving through
over the western end of the state. As this swell slowly eases later in
the weekend, a fresh, long-period south-southwest swell will begin to
fill in through the day Sunday. This will peak near the advisory
level early next week before easing through midweek. The ongoing
short-period northwest swell will keep surf along north and west
facing shores up into Saturday before easing. Surf along east facing
shores will remain well below average through the weekend. An upward
trend is possible next week as the trades return locally and far
upstream over the eastern Pacific.

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.
