A small, long-period northwest swell will fill in this evening and
tonight, peak on Saturday, then gradually decline into Sunday. This

Sunday, maintaining small surf along north and west facing shores
into early next week. Small background south swells will continue
into Saturday, providing tiny surf for south facing shores.
Forerunners of a small, long period south swell may arrive Saturday

along south facing shores into early next week. Rough and choppy
surf along east facing shores will increase slightly on Saturday and
hold into early next week as strong trades persist.

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.
